Micah 2:8-11

New International Version

⁸Lately my people have risen up
    like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
    from those who pass by without a care,
    like men returning from battle.
⁹You drive the women of my people
    from their pleasant homes.^(A)
You take away my blessing
    from their children forever.
¹⁰Get up, go away!
    For this is not your resting place,^(B)
because it is defiled,^(C)
    it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
¹¹If a liar and deceiver^(D) comes and says,
    ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’^(E)
    that would be just the prophet for this people!^(F)

Micah 2:8-11

English Standard Version

⁸But lately ^(A)my people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
    with no thought of war.^[a]
⁹The women of my people you drive out
    from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
    my splendor forever.
¹⁰^(B)Arise and go,
    for this is no ^(C)place to rest,
because of ^(D)uncleanness that destroys
    with a grievous destruction.
¹¹If a man should go about and ^(E)utter wind and lies,
    saying, “I will preach to you ^(F)of wine and strong drink,”
    he would be the preacher for this people!
