Micah 2:8-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. But yesterday, my people, the Lord rose up as an enemy.You strip off the glorious clothesfrom trusting passersby, those who reject war.

9. You drive out the women of my people,each from her cherished house;from their young childrenyou take away my splendor forever.

10. Rise up and go! This can’t be the resting place;because of its uncleanness,it destroys and the destruction is horrific.

11. If someone were to go about inspired and say deceitfully:"I will preach to you for wine and liquor,"such a one would be the preacher for this people!
