Micah 2:1 Woe1945 to them that devise2803 iniquity,205 and work6466 evil7451 upon their beds!4904 when the morning1242 is light,216 they practise6213 it, because it is3426 in the power410 of their hand.30272 And they covet2530 fields,7704 and take them by violence;1497 and houses,1004 and take them away:5375 so they oppress6231{Or, defraud} a man1397 and his house,1004 even a man376 and his heritage.51593 Therefore thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold, against this family4940 do I devise2803 an evil,7451 from which ye shall not remove4185 your necks;6677 neither shall ye go3212 haughtily:7317 for this time6256is evil.7451
Micah 2:4 In that day3117 shall one take up5375 a parable4912 against you, and lament5091 with a doleful5093 lamentation,5092{Heb. with a lamentation of lamentations}and say,559 We be utterly7703 spoiled:7703 he hath changed4171 the portion2506 of my people:5971 how hath he removed4185it from me! turning away7725 he hath divided2505{Or, instead of restoring} our fields.77045 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast7993 a cord2256 by lot1486 in the congregation6951 of the LORD.30686 Prophesy5197{Heb. drop, etc.} ye not,{Or, prophesy not, as they prophesy}saytheytothemthat prophesy:5197 they shall not prophesy5197 to them, that they shall not take5253 shame.3639
Micah 2:7 O thouthatart named559 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 is the spirit7307 of the LORD3068 straitened?7114{Or, shortened}are these his doings?4611 do not my words1697 do good3190 to him that walketh1980 uprightly?3477{Heb. upright}8 Even of late865{Heb. yesterday} my people5971 is risen up6965 as an enemy:341 ye pull off6584 the robe145 with4136 the garment8008{Heb. over against a garment} from them that pass5674 by securely983 as men averse7725 from war.44219 The women802{Or, wives} of my people5971 have ye cast out1644 from their pleasant8588 houses;1004 from their children5768 have ye taken away3947 my glory1926 for ever.576910 Arise6965 ye, and depart;3212 for this is not your rest:4496 because it is polluted,2930 it shall destroy2254you, even with a sore4834 destruction.225611 If3863 a man376 walking1980 in the spirit7307 and falsehood8267{Or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely} do lie,3576saying, I will prophesy5197 unto thee of wine3196 and of strong drink;7941 he shall even be the prophet5197 of this people.5971
Micah 2:12 I will surely622 assemble,622 O Jacob,3290 all of thee; I will surely6908 gather6908 the remnant7611 of Israel;3478 I will put7760 them together3162 as the sheep6629 of Bozrah,12231224 as the flock5739 in the midst8432 of their fold:1699 they shall make great noise1949 by reason of themultitudeof men.12013 The breaker6555 is come up5927 before6440 them: they have broken up,6555 and have passed through5674 the gate,8179 and are gone out3318 by it: and their king4428 shall pass5674 before6440 them, and the LORD3068 on the head7218 of them.
