Micah 2:6

Micah 2:6 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

6“Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.

“Do not prophesy about these things;

disgrace will not overtake us.”

6¶‘Do not prophesy,’ so they prophesy.

But if they do not prophesy about these things,

Insults will not be turned back.

6¶‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.

But if they do not speak out concerning these things,

Reproaches will not be turned back.

6“Do not preach,” they preach.

“Do not preach these things;

disgrace will not overtake us.”

6Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.

6They that prophecied, Prophecie ye not. They shall not prophecie to them, neither shall they take shame.

6“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—

“Don’t prophesy about these things.

Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

6“Don’t prophesy,” the people’s prophets say.

“Don’t prophesy about bad things.

Nothing shameful is going to happen to us.”

6The people answered me,

‘Do not prophesy such bad things against us!

Do not say that the Lord will cause trouble for us

and make us ashamed!’

6You do not prophesy—they prophesy, || They do not prophesy to these, || It does not remove shame.
