Micah 2:8 in Context — Micah 2
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.
9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus delicias: á sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
10 Levantaos, y andad, que no es ésta la holganza; porque [está] contaminada, corrompióse, y de grande corrupción.
