2:6–11 Rejection of the Prophetic Word. This disputation addresses unprincipled prophets (cf. 3:5–7). Those who reject Micah are exposed (2:6), and the Lord brings to light further abuses of the powerful (vv. 8–9). Exile is the sentence for the “uncleanness” of their injustice and their willingness to welcome deceptive preaching (vv. 10–11). 2:6 preach. This verb frames the unit (vv. 6, 11) and conveys the idea “to drip,” a term used metaphorically for divulging a prophetic message (Ezek. 20:46).
