micah 2:11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

micah 2:11 "If a man walking after wind and falsehood Had told lies [and said], 'I will speak out to you concerning wine and liquor,' He would be spokesman to this people.

11. walking in the spirit--The Hebrew means also "wind." "If a man professing to have the 'spirit' of inspiration (Eze 13:3; so 'man of the spirit,' that is, one claiming inspiration, Ho 9:7), but really walking in 'wind' (prophecy void of nutriment for the soul, and unsubstantial as the wind) and falsehood, do lie, saying (that which ye like to hear), I will prophesy," &c., even such a one, however false his prophecies, since he flatters your wishes, shall be your prophet (compare Mic 2:6; Jer 5:31).
prophesy . . . of wine--that is, of an abundant supply of wine.

micah 2:11 "If a man walking after wind and falsehood Had told lies [and said], 'I will speak out to you concerning wine and liquor,' He would be spokesman to this people.
