Micah 2:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 They covet fields(A) and seize them;(B)
they also take houses.
They deprive a man of his home,(C)
a person of his inheritance.(D)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
I am now planning(E) a disaster
against this nation;(F)
you cannot free your necks from it.(G)
Then you will not walk so proudly(H)
because it will be an evil time.(I)
4 In that day one will take up(J) a taunt against you,
and lament mournfully,(K) saying,
“We are totally ruined!(L)
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How He removes it from me!
He allots our fields(M) to traitors.”
Micah 2:2-4
New King James Version
2 They (A)covet fields and take them by violence,
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, against this (B)family I am devising (C)disaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time.
4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
And (D)lament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the [a]heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To [b]a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”
