Micah 2:1-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
Woe to Oppressors
2 Woe to those who (A)scheme iniquity,
Who work out evil on their beds!
[a](B)When morning comes, they do it,
For it is in the (C)power of their hands.
2 They (D)covet fields and then (E)seize them,
And houses, and take them away.
They [b](F)rob a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord,
“Behold, I am (G)planning against this (H)family a calamity
From which you (I)cannot remove your necks;
And you will not walk (J)haughtily,
For it will be an (K)evil time.
4 “On that day they will (L)take up against you a [c]taunt
And [d](M)utter a bitter lamentation and say,
‘We are completely (N)destroyed!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He (O)apportions our fields.’
5 “Therefore you will have no one [e](P)stretching a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.
