Micah 2:6-8

English Standard Version

^6 (A)“Do not preach”—thus they preach—
    ^(B)“one should not preach of such things;
    ^(C)disgrace will not overtake us.”
⁷ Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
    ^(D)Has the Lord grown impatient?^[a]
    Are these his deeds?
Do not my words do good
    to him who walks uprightly?
⁸ But lately ^(E)my people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
    with no thought of war.^[b]
