To the backslider our fields He apportioneth. 5Therefore, thou hast no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of Jehovah. 6Ye do not prophesy--they do prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It doth not remove shame. 7Doth the house of Jacob say, `Hath the Spirit of Jehovah been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit the people that is walking uprightly? 8And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up, From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off, From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from war. 9The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age. 10Rise and go, for this is not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful. 11If one is going with the wind, And with falsehood hath lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of this people! 12I do surely gather thee, O Jacob, all of thee, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I do set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It maketh a noise because of man. 13Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And Jehovah at their head! ‹Previous chapterMicah 1Next chapterMicah 3›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsMicah 2 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
