NET Bible
"‘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.’"
— Micah 2:6, NET Bible
“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."”
“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 the LORD says this:“Look, I am devising disaster for this nation! It will be like a yoke from which you cannot free your neck. You will no longer walk proudly, for it will be a time of catastrophe.
In that day people will sing this taunt song to you– they will mock you with this lament:‘We are completely destroyed; they sell off the property of my people. How they remove it from me! They assign our fields to the conqueror.’
Therefore no one will assign you land in the LORD’s community.
‘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.’
Does the family of Jacob say,‘The LORD’s patience can’t be exhausted– he would never do such things’? To be sure, my commands bring a reward for those who obey them,
but you rise up as an enemy against my people. You steal a robe from a friend, from those who pass by peacefully as if returning from a war.
You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes. You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.
