Micah 2

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.
I'm not quite sure what's meant by the first part of this voice.  What/how does a man walk after wind?  Is this some kind of saying that means his actions are like wind, going here and there but never having substance?  I'm only guessing here, I have no idea.

However, the rest of the verse is pretty straightforward.  This people was in such desperate shape that just having someone around who could talk about good things would ensnare them.  When the people are desperate, they will cling to anything they can find, even if it's flimsy and unlikely to hold.
