Micah 2:11

“If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, etc.] Who pretends to be a prophet, and a spiritual man, and to be under the inspiration and influence of the Spirit of God, but utters nothing but lies and falsehoods; or who is actuated by a spirit of falsehood and lying; or, as in the margin, “walks with the wind, and lies falsely”f116; is full of wind and vanity; “after the wind”f117; and follows the dictates of his vain mind, and coins lies, and speaks false things: [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; or “drop [a word] unto thee”f118; that there will be good times, and nothing but good eating and drinking; and that men need not fear such dismal things…”

“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, Hos 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.”

“If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood - Literally, “in spirit” (not My Spirit) “and falsehood,” that is, in a lying spirit; such as they, whose woe Ezekiel pronounces Ezekiel 13:3, “Woe unto the foolish prophets who walk after their own spirit and what they have not seen Ezekiel 13:2, Ezekiel 13:17; prophets out of their own hearts, who prophesied a vision of falsehood, and a destruction and nothingness; prophesied falsehood; yea, prophets of the deceit of their hearts.” These, like the true prophets, “walked in spirit;” as Isaiah speaks of “walking in righteousness” Isaiah 33:15. Their habitual converse was m a spirit, but of falsehood. If such an one do lie, saying, “I will prophesy…”

“Walking - If a man pretend to have the spirit of prophesy. Saying - You shall have plenty of days, and may eat, drink, and be merry. He shall even be the prophet - Such they like and chuse. Micah 2:12”

“2:11 a prophet full of lies: These evil people loved to hear deceptions from their favorite good-time prophets (cp. Jer 28:8-9). False prophets proclaimed assurance that Israel and Judah could escape from judgment. When judgment came, they had no comfort to give.”
