Micah 2
New International Version - Micah 2 << | >> 1234567 2:1 Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning's light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. 2:2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud a man of his home, a fellowman of his inheritance. 2:3 Therefore, the Lord says: 'I am planning disaster against this people, from which you cannot save yourselves. You will no longer walk proudly, for it will be a time of calamity. 2:4 In that day men will ridicule you; they will taunt you with this mournful song: 'We are utterly ruined; my people's possession is divided up. He takes it from me! He assigns our fields to traitors.' ' 2:5 Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord to divide the land by lot. 2:6 'Do not prophesy,' their prophets say. 'Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us.' 2:7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob: 'Is the Spirit of the Lord angry? Does he do such things?' 'Do not my words do good to him whose ways are upright? 2:8 Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip off the rich robe from those who pass by without a care, like men returning from battle. 2:9 You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever. 2:10 Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy. 2:11 If a liar and deceiver comes and says, 'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,' he would be just the prophet for this people! 2:12 'I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people. 2:13 One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.'
