American Standard Version
"Prophesy ye not, thusthey prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart. "
— Micah 2:6, American Standard Version
“Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.”
“"Don't prophesy!" They prophesy. "Don't prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."”
“‘Don’t preach with such impassioned rhetoric,’ they say excitedly.‘These prophets should not preach of such things; we will not be overtaken by humiliation.’”
“Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.”
“Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!”
“Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.”
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove it from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
Prophesy ye not, thusthey prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
