Micah 2:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
I am now planning(A) a disaster
against this nation;(B)
you cannot free your necks from it.(C)
Then you will not walk so proudly(D)
because it will be an evil time.(E)
4 In that day one will take up(F) a taunt against you,
and lament mournfully,(G) saying,
“We are totally ruined!(H)
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How He removes it from me!
He allots our fields(I) to traitors.”
5 Therefore, there will be no one
in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by casting lots.[a](J)

Micah 2:3-5
Common English Bible
3 Therefore, the Lord proclaims:
I myself am devising an evil against this family
from which you will not be able to remove your necks!
You will no longer be able to go about arrogantly,
for it will be an evil time.
4 On that day, a taunt will be raised against you;
someone will wail bitterly:
“We are utterly destroyed!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
he removes what belongs to me;
he gives away our fields to a rebel.”
5 Therefore, you will have no one to set boundary lines
by lot in the Lord’s assembly.
