Mic. 2:6 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Mic. 2:5      Mic. 2:7

Micah 2:6

"Do not preach (prophesy),"
they preach (prophesy).
"They shall not preach (prophesy)
such things to avoid shame (so as not to receive reproaches)." [The Hebrew word nataf can be translated as both preach and prophesy. Literally, it means to trickle or drip, but it can also be used to mean to express oneself spontaneously. This makes this verse ambiguous and difficult to translate.]
