Micah 2:3-5
English Standard Version
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against (A)this family I am devising disaster,[a]
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you (B)shall not walk haughtily,
(C)for it will be a time of disaster.
4 In that day (D)they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
(E)he changes the portion of my people;
(F)how he removes it from me!
(G)To an apostate he allots our fields.”
5 Therefore you will have none (H)to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.

3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(B)
for it will be a time of calamity.

they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(C)
my people’s possession is divided up.(D)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
