I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand.
–Micah 5:12 (KJV)–
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.
–Ephesians 4:31 (KJV)–
A heart that devises wicked schemes.
–Proverbs 6:18 (NIV)–
Many of them depended much upon the conduct and advice of their conjurors, diviners, and fortune-tellers; and those God will cut off, not only as weak things, and insufficient to relieve them, but as wicked things, and sufficient to ruin them (Micah 5:12): “I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand, that thou shalt no more take hold of them, and stay thyself upon them, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers, for thou shalt be convinced that all their pretensions are a cheat.” The justice of the nation shall cut them off according to law, Leviticus 20:27. The preaching of the Gospel brought men off from using curious arts, Acts 19:19. —MATTHEW HENRY’S COMMENTARY ON MICAH 5:12
