Micah continues quoting Yahweh's speech to the people. Here Yahweh speaks to false prophets, as well as to the rich who have abused their power.

# Do not prophesy
|

The speakers are speaking to Micah and to others, so this is plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])

"the people of Israel say"
|

"The prophets must not prophesy"

Reproach is spoken of as if it were a robber chasing a person. It can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "we will not allow you to bring disgrace upon us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
