Micah 2:2-5
English Standard Version
2 They covet fields and (A)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 (B)this family I am devising disaster,[a]
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you (C)shall not walk haughtily,
(D)for it will be a time of disaster.
4 In that day (E)they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
(F)he changes the portion of my people;
(G)how he removes it from me!
(H)To an apostate he allots our fields.”
5 Therefore you will have none (I)to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.
