# General Information:
Micah continues quoting Yahweh's speech to the people, specifically to false prophets, as well as to the rich who have abused their power.
Micah continues quoting Yahweh's speech, specifically to false prophets and to the rich who have abused their power.
# Should it really be said, ... "Is the Spirit of Yahweh impatient? Are these really his deeds?"
Micah is using a rhetorical question to scold the Israelites, who themselves are asking rhetorical questions to deny that Yahweh is angry with them. This can be translated as a series of statements, and Micah's question can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "Should you really ask, ... 'Is the Spirit of Yahweh impatient? Are these really his deeds?'" or "You should not say, ... 'The Spirit of Yahweh is not impatient. These are not really his deeds'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
