Micah 2:7

O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? [are] these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

O thou that art named {H559} the house {H1004} of Jacob {H3290}, is the spirit {H7307} of the LORD {H3068} straitened {H7114}? are these his doings {H4611}? do not my words {H1697} do good {H3190} to him that walketh {H1980} uprightly {H3477}?

is this what the house of Ya'akov says? ADONAI has not grown impatient, and these things are not his doings. "Rather, my words do only good to anyone living uprightly.

Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
