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 thus says the Lord:
Now, I am devising against this family an evil
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk arrogantly,
for it will be an evil time.(A)
4 On that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
and wail with bitter lamentation
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
the Lord[a] alters the inheritance of my people;
how he removes it from me!
Among our captors[b] he parcels out our fields.”(B)
5 Therefore you will have no one in the Lord’s assembly
to allot you a piece of land.(C)
