Micah 2:6

Read in context

Micah 2:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”

5 Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.

6 “Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”

7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

8 But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.
