Micah 2:2-4
English Standard Version Anglicised
Micah 2:2-4
English Standard Version Anglicised
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.”

2 They covet fields(A) and seize them,(B)
and houses, and take them.
They defraud(C) people of their homes,
they rob them of their inheritance.(D)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(E) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(F)
for it will be a time of calamity.

they will taunt you with this mournful song:

He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”

Micah 2:2-4
King James Version
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
