“If someone were to go about
Uttering empty falsehoods,
Saying.
‘I will preach to you
About wine.
I will preach to you
About strong drink.’
Such a one
Would be
The preacher
For this people!”
In an ironic twist, Micah said that if someone were to preach empty lies by talking about the great value of wine and strong alcoholic drinks, then he surely would be a popular preacher among the people.
