Micah 2:3-7
New International Version - UK
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
‘I am planning disaster against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
“We are utterly ruined;
my people’s possession is divided up.
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.”’
5 Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by lot.
False prophets
6 ‘Do not prophesy,’ their prophets say.
‘Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace will not overtake us.’
7 You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
‘Does the Lord become[a] impatient?
Does he do such things?’
‘Do not my words do good
to the one whose ways are upright?
