Context of Micah 2:5

3Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time. 4In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious. Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah. 6Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart. 7O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
