      Micah 2 (Listen)

      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.
      4   In that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
          and moan bitterly,
        and say, “We are utterly ruined;
          he changes the portion of my people;
        how he removes it from me!
          To an apostate he allots our fields.”
      5   Therefore you will have none to cast the line by lot
          in the assembly of the LORD.
      6   “Do not preach”—thus they preach—
          “one should not preach of such things;
          disgrace will not overtake us.”
      7   Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
          Has the LORD grown impatient?2
          Are these his deeds?
        Do not my words do good
          to him who walks uprightly?
      8   But lately my people have risen up as an enemy;
        you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
          with no thought of war.3
      9   The women of my people you drive out
          from their delightful houses;
        from their young children you take away
          my splendor forever.
      10   Arise and go,
          for this is no place to rest,
        because of uncleanness that destroys
          with a grievous destruction.
      11   If a man should go about and utter wind and lies,
          saying, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,”
          he would be the preacher for this people!
      12   I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;
          I will gather the remnant of Israel;
        I will set them together
          like sheep in a fold,
        like a flock in its pasture,
          a noisy multitude of men.
      13   He who opens the breach goes up before them;
          they break through and pass the gate,
          going out by it.
        Their king passes on before them,
          the LORD at their head.

      Micah - 2:3 The same Hebrew word can mean evil or disaster, depending on the context
      Micah - 2:7 Hebrew Has the spirit of the Lord grown short?
