Micah 2:8

6 “Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”

7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.

9 You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.

10 Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
