Human Plans and God’s Plans
2 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
to those who plot evil(A) on their beds!(B)
At morning’s light they carry it out
because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields(C) and seize them,(D)
and houses, and take them.
They defraud(E) people of their homes,
they rob them of their inheritance.(F)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(G) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(H)
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;(I)
my people’s possession is divided up.(J)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
False Prophets
6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.
“Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace(M) will not overtake us.(N)”
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(O)
to the one whose ways are upright?(P)
8 Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.(Q)
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,(R)
because it is defiled,(S)
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver(T) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(U)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(V)
Deliverance Promised
12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant(W) of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.(X)
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before(Y) them;
they will break through the gate(Z) and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head.”

Péché et jugement d'Israël
2 Malheur à ceux qui projettent l’injustice
et qui forgent le mal dans leur lit!
Au point du jour ils le réalisent,
quand ils ont le pouvoir en main.
2 Ils convoitent des champs, et ils s'en emparent,
des maisons, et ils les prennent;
ils traitent avec violence le maître et sa maison,
l'homme et son héritage.
3 C'est pourquoi, voici ce que dit l'Eternel:
Je prépare contre ce peuple un malheur
dont vous ne dégagerez pas votre cou,
et vous ne marcherez pas la tête haute,
*car ces temps seront mauvais[a].
4 Ce jour-là, on fera de vous le sujet d’un proverbe,
on chantera une complainte,
on dira: «Nous sommes entièrement dévastés,
il donne à d'autres la part de mon peuple.
Comment! Il me l'enlève, il distribue nos champs à l'ennemi.»
5 C'est pourquoi tu n'auras personne
pour te mesurer une part du pays
dans l'assemblée de l'Eternel.
6 «Ne discourez pas, discourent-ils.
On ne discourra pas de telles choses!»
La honte n’en finit pas.
7 Qu’est-il dit, famille de Jacob?
L'Eternel serait-il impatient?
Est-ce sa manière d'agir?
Mes paroles ne sont-elles pas favorables
à celui qui marche avec droiture?
8 Depuis longtemps mon peuple se dresse comme un ennemi:
vous enlevez leur tenue
à ceux qui passent en toute confiance
en revenant de la guerre.
9 Vous chassez des maisons qu’elles aiment les femmes de mon peuple,
vous enlevez pour toujours ma gloire à leurs enfants.
10 Levez-vous, marchez, car ce n'est pas ici un lieu de repos;
à cause de vos souillures, il y aura des douleurs, des douleurs violentes.
11 Si un homme court après le vent et débite des mensonges:
«Je vais te prophétiser sur le vin, sur les boissons fortes»,
il sera pour ce peuple un prophète.
Promesse de rassemblement
12 Je te rassemblerai tout entier, Jacob,
je rassemblerai les restes d'Israël,
je les réunirai comme les brebis d'une bergerie,
comme le troupeau dans son pâturage.
Il y aura une foule bruyante.
13 Celui qui fait la brèche montera devant eux;
ils feront la brèche, franchiront la porte et sortiront par là.
Leur roi marchera devant eux,
l'Eternel sera à leur tête.

New King James Version
Micah 2
New King James Version
Woe to Evildoers
2 Woe to those who devise iniquity,
And [a]work out evil on their beds!
At (A)morning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They (B)covet fields and take them by violence,
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, against this (C)family I am devising (D)disaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time.
4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
And (E)lament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the [b]heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To [c]a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”
5 Therefore you will have no [d]one to determine boundaries by lot
In the assembly of the Lord.
Lying Prophets
6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who [e]prophesy.
So they shall not prophesy [f]to you;
[g]They shall not return insult for insult.
7 You who are named the house of Jacob:
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?
8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.
10 “Arise and depart,
For this is not your (F)rest;
Because it is (G)defiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.
11 If a man should walk in a false spirit
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will [h]prophesy to you [i]of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the (H)prattler of this people.
Israel Restored
12 “I(I) will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together (J)like sheep of [j]the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
(K)They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
13 The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
(L)Their king will pass before them,
(M)With the Lord at their head.”
