Micah 2:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.
⁹ The women of my people you drive out
    from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away
    my glory forever.
