But you rise up against my people as an enemy;
you strip the robe from the peaceful, <!– +fCn: Heb from before a garment+e –>
from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.
<!– 9 –>The women of my people you drive out
from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away
my glory for ever.
<!– 10 –>Arise and go;
for this is no place to rest,
because of uncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.

Micah 2:8-10
