Micah 2:6 in context

  1. 4In that day they will take up a parable against you,
    and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,
    ‘We are utterly ruined!
    My people’s possession is divided up.
    Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’ ”
  2. 5Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
  3. 6“Don’t prophesy!”
    They prophesy.
    “Don’t prophesy about these things.
    Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
  4. 7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:
    “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?
    Are these his doings?
    Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
  5. 8But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
    You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
