Micah 2:9-11

Amplified Bible

⁹
“You evict the women (widows) of My people,
Each one from her pleasant house;
From her [young, fatherless] children you take away My splendor and blessing forever [by putting them among the pagans, away from Me].
¹⁰
“Arise and depart [because the captivity is inevitable],
For this [land] is not the place of rest
Because of the defilement that brings destruction,
A painful and terrible destruction.
¹¹
“If a man walking in a false spirit [spouting deception]
Should lie and say,
‘I will prophesy to you [O Israel] of wine and liquor (greed, sensual pleasure),’
He would be the acceptable spokesman of this people.^(A)

⁹You drive the women of my people
    from their pleasant homes.^(A)
You take away my blessing

    For this is not your resting place,^(B)
because it is defiled,^(C)
    it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
¹¹If a liar and deceiver^(D) comes and says,
    ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’^(E)
    that would be just the prophet for this people!^(F)
