Micah 2:7 in context

The verses around it, from Micah 2.

3 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I am planning against this nation a disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of calamity.

4 In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”

5 Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.

6 “Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”

7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

8 But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.

9 You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.

10 Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction—a grievous destruction!

11 If a man of wind were to come and say falsely, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be just the preacher for this people!
