Micah 2:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, [a]We be utterly wasted: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he taken it away to restore it unto me? he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in [b]the congregation of the Lord.
6 [c]They that prophesy, Prophesy ye not. [d]They shall not prophesy to them, neither shall they take shame.
