Commentary for Micah 2:6

אַל־תַּטִּ֖פוּ יַטִּיפ֑וּן לֹֽא־יַטִּ֣פוּ לָאֵ֔לֶּה לֹ֥א יִסַּ֖ג כְּלִמּֽוֹת׃

’Preach ye not’, they preach; ‘They shall not preach of these things, That they shall not take shame.’

Rashi on Micah

“Preach not, those who preach”—Do not prophesy to reprove them. To you, the prophets who constantly preach, I say this.

Rashi on Micah

they shall not take shame—Lest disgraces from them overtake them, as the matter is stated (Prov. 9:8): “Reprove not a scorner.” Every instance of טִיף is an expression of prophecy, as in (Amos 7:16) “And do not prophesy (תַטִיף) concerning the house of Isaac” and (Ezek. 21:2) “And prophesy (וְהַטֵף) to the south.”
