Micah|2:1|-|Woe to those who devise wickednessAnd who prepare evil upon their beds!
In the light of the morning they do itBecause |1|it is in the power of their hand to do so.
Micah|2:2|-|And they covet fields and seize them,And houses, and take them away;
And they oppress a person and his house,And a man and his inheritance.
Micah|2:3|-|Therefore thus says Jehovah,I am now devising evil against this |a|family,
From which you will not remove your necks;And you will not go about haughtily,
For it is an evil time.
Micah|2:4|-|In that day they will take up a proverb concerning you,And they will lament a lamenting lament; they will say,
We are utterly ruined;He has changed the portion of my people.
How He removes it from me!He has apportioned our fields to the rebellious.
Micah|2:5|-|Therefore you will have no one who casts the line by lotIn the congregation of Jehovah.
Micah|2:6|-||a|Do not prophesy, they prophesy.If the true prophets do not prophesy concerning these things,
The reproaches will not be turned back.
Micah|2:7|-|Will it be said, O house of Jacob,Is the Spirit of Jehovah |1|hasty?
Are these His doings?Do not My words benefit
Him who walks uprightly?
Micah|2:8|-|But recently My peopleHave risen up as an enemy;
You strip away the mantleFrom off the garment
Of those who pass by securely,Those who turn away from conflict.
Micah|2:9|-|The women of My people you cast out,From their pleasant houses;
From their young children you take awayMy splendor forever.
Micah|2:10|-|Arise and go,For this is not your resting place,
Because of the uncleannessThat brings destruction, indeed grievous destruction.
Micah|2:11|-|If a man going aboutAfter wind and falsehood lies, saying,
I will |a|prophesy to youConcerning wine and liquor;
He would indeed become a prophet of this people.
Micah|2:12|-|I will surely |1|gather all of you, O Jacob;I will surely assemble the |a|remnant of Israel.
I will place them together like the |b|sheep of Bozrah,Like the flock in the midst of its pasture;
They will make much noise because of the many men.
Micah|2:13|-|He who breaks through goes up before them;They break through and pass through the gate,
And they go forth through it.And their King goes forth before them;
Indeed |a|Jehovah is at their head.
