Micah 2:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ ‘Do not preach’—thus they preach—
    ‘one should not preach of such things;
    disgrace will not overtake us.’
⁷ Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
    Is the Lord’s patience exhausted?
    Are these his doings?
Do not my words do good
    to one who walks uprightly?
⁸ But you rise up against my people^[a] as an enemy;
    you strip the robe from the peaceful,^[b]
from those who pass by trustingly
    with no thought of war.
