9 The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.
And I have given My honour among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.
For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover `the bottom of' a sea.
And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me, let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men -- cursed `are' they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
And blessed `is' the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled `with' His honour. Amen, and amen!
My tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising up my curtains.
And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.
who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'

Mic 2:6-11
Here are two sins charged upon the people of Israel, and judgments denounced against them for each, such judgments as exactly answer the sin-persecuting God's prophets and oppressing God's poor.
Mic 2:12-13
After threatenings of wrath, the chapter here concludes, as is usual in the prophets, with promises of mercy, which were in part fulfilled when the Jews returned out of Babylon, and had their full accomplishment in the kingdom of the Messiah. Their grievances shall be all redressed.
