But lately my people have stood up like an enemy.

    You strip off the splendid robe from those who pass by
    as they return safely from battle.[a]
You drive the women among my people out of their comfortable houses.
    You take away my splendor from their children forever.
10 Get up and leave,
    for this will not be a place to rest,
    because the impurity that destroys it will bring painful destruction.

  1. Micah 2:8 The meaning of this line is uncertain.

Lately my people have risen up
    like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
    from those who pass by without a care,
    like men returning from battle.
You drive the women of my people
    from their pleasant homes.(A)
You take away my blessing
    from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
    For this is not your resting place,(B)
because it is defiled,(C)
    it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
