Micah 2:6-11

Rotherham(i) 6 Do not sputter––So they sputter! They must not sputter as to these things, Must he not put away reproaches? 7 O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk? 8 But, against my people, as an enemy, he setteth himself, from off the robe, they tear away, the cloak,––from such as are passing by with confidence, as men averse from war. 9 The wives of my people, ye do even drive out, each from the house of her darlings,––from over her children, ye do take away mine ornament, as long as life shall last. 10 Arise ye and depart, for, this, is not the place of rest,––Because it is defiled, it shall make desolate with a desolation that is ruthless. 11 If there be a man, who goeth after wind, and, falsehood, hath woven, [saying]––I will discourse to thee, concerning wine and strong drink, then shall he become a fountain of discourse unto this people.
