Micah
Chapter 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds!
when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power
of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and
take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his
heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I
devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither
shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament
with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath
changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me!
turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in
the congregation of the LORD.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not
prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the
LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him
that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the
robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse
from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant
houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is
polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I
will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be
the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely
gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of
Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great
noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and
have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king
shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
