Micah 2:1-3
<< Micah 1 | Micah 2 | Micah 3 >>
Woe to the Oppressors
2:1 Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against this family I am devising disaster, [1]
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk haughtily,
for it will be a time of disaster.
