You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Micah 2:9 in context
Micah 2:6–12
6
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—
“Don’t prophesy about these things.
Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob,
“Is the LORD’s Spirit angry?
Are these his doings?
Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9
Selected verse
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10
Arise, and depart!
For this is not your resting place,
because of uncleanness that destroys,
even with a grievous destruction.
11
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying,
“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,”
he would be the prophet of this people.
12
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob.
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel.
I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
as a flock in the middle of their pasture.
They will swarm with people.
