Micah 2:11 Context
9The women of my people haue ye cast out from their pleasant houses, from their children haue ye taken away my glory for euer. 10Arise ye and depart, for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you euen with a sore destruction. 11If a man walking in the spirit and falshood, doe lie, saying, I will prophecie vnto thee of wine and of strong drinke, he shall euen bee the prophet of this people. 12¶ I will surely assemble, O Iacob, all of thee: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as the sheepe of Bozrah, as the flocke in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 13The breaker is come vp before them: they haue broken vp and haue passed through the gate, and are gone out by it, and their king shal passe before them, & the Lord on the head of them.
