Micah 2:9 Context
7¶ O thou that art named the house of Iacob, is the Spirit of the Lord straitned? are these his dongs? doe not my words do good to him that walketh vprightly? 8Euen of late, my people is risen vp as an enemie: ye pull off the robe with the garment, frō them that passe by securely, as men auerse from warre. 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.
