Micah 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ “They mustn’t preach!” so they preach.
        “They mustn’t preach of such things!
            Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
⁷     (Should this be said, house of Jacob?)
        “Is the Lord’s patience cut short? Are these his deeds?”
            Don’t my words help the one who behaves righteously?
⁸ But yesterday, my people, the Lord rose up as an enemy.^[a]
        You strip off the glorious clothes^[b]
            from trusting passersby, those who reject war.
