Micah 2:3 in context

  1. 1Woe to those who devise iniquity
    and work evil on their beds!
    When the morning is light, they practice it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.
  2. 2They covet fields, and seize them;
    and houses, and take them away:
    and they oppress a man and his house,
    even a man and his heritage.
  3. 3Therefore Yahweh says:
    “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,
    from which you will not remove your necks,
    neither will you walk haughtily;
    for it is an evil time.
  4. 4In that day they will take up a parable against you,
    and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,
    ‘We are utterly ruined!
    My people’s possession is divided up.
    Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’ ”
  5. 5Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
