Lying Prophets
So they shall not prophesy1 to you;
1They shall not return insult for insult.
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.
For this is not your arest;
Because it is bdefiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.
| << Micah 2:6 | Micah 2:8 >> |
