Micah 2:6 in Context — Micah 2

4 En aquel tiempo se levantará sobre vosotros refrán, y se endechará endecha de lamentación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruídos; ha cambiado la parte de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! dió, repartiólos [á otros].

5 Por tanto, no tendrás quien eche cordel para suerte en la congregación de Jehová.

6 No profeticéis, [dicen] á los que profetizan; no les profeticen que los ha de comprender vergüenza.

7 La que te dices casa de Jacob, ¿hase acortado el espíritu de Jehová? ¿son éstas sus obras? ¿Mis palabras no hacen bien al que camina derechamente?

8 El que ayer era mi pueblo, se ha levantado como enemigo: tras las vestiduras quitasteis las capas atrevidamente á los que pasaban, [como] los que vuelven de la guerra.
