Micah 2:6
Compare all
4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
And alament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the1 heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To1 a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ” 
5 Therefore you will have no1 one to determine boundaries by lot
In the assembly of the Lord. 

Lying Prophets

6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who1 prophesy.
So they shall not prophesy1 to you;
1They shall not return insult for insult. 
7 You who are named the house of Jacob:
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?
8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.

Micah 2:6

Prophesy ye not, say they—namely, the Israelites say to the true prophets, when announcing unwelcome truths. Therefore God judicially abandons them to their own ways: "The prophets, by whose ministry they might have been saved from shame (ignominious captivity), shall not (that is, no longer) prophesy to them" (Isaiah 30:10; Amos 2:12; Amos 7:16). MAURER translates the latter clause, "they shall not prophesy of such things" (as in Micah 2:3-5, these being rebellious Israel's words); "let them not prophesy"; "they never cease from insult" (from prophesying insults to us). English Version is supported by the parallelism: wherein the similarity of sound and word implies how exactly God makes their punishment answer to their sin, and takes them at their own word. "Prophesy," literally, "drop" (Deuteronomy 32:2; Ezekiel 21:2).
