Micah 2:4–11
4 In that day shall one htake up ia parable against you,
And lament †with a doleful lamentation,
And say, We be utterly spoiled:
kHe hath changed the portion of my people:
kHow hath he removed it from me!
||lTurning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall mcast a cord nby lot
In the congregation of the Lord.
6 ||†oProphesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy:
pThey shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob,
Is the spirit of the Lord ||straitened?
qAre these his doings?
Do not my words do good to him that walketh †uprightly?
8 sEven †of late my people is risen up as an enemy:
Ye pull off rvthe robe †with the garment
sFrom them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 sThe ||women of my people have ye cast out from their upleasant houses;
sFrom their children have ye taken away vmy glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not wyour rest:
Because xit is polluted, it shall ydestroy you, even with a zsore destruction.
11 If a man ||bwalking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, csaying,
I will dprophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink;
