Micah 2:11-13
Contemporary English Version
Micah 2:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 The only prophet you want
is a liar who will say,
“Drink and get drunk!”
A Promise of Hope
12 I, the Lord, promise
to bring together
the people of Israel
who have survived.
I will gather them,
just as a shepherd
brings sheep together,
and there will be many.
13 I will break down the gate
and lead them out—
then I will be their king.
Micah 2:11-13
New International Version
Micah 2:11-13
New International Version
11 If a liar and deceiver(A) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(B)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(C)
Deliverance Promised
12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant(D) of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.(E)
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before(F) them;
they will break through the gate(G) and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head.”
