King James Version with Apocrypha
"Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame."
— Micah 2:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.”
“Prophesy ye not, thusthey prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart. ”
“"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!”
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
