Micah 2:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“Behold, I am (A)devising against this (B)family an evil demise
From which you (C)cannot remove your necks;
And you will not walk (D)haughtily,
For it will be an (E)evil time.
4 On that day they will (F)take up against you a [a]taunt
And [b](G)utter a bitter wailing and say,
‘We are completely (H)devastated!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the faithless one, He (I)apportions our fields.’
5 Therefore you will have no one [c](J)stretching a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
Micah 2:3-5
New Living Translation
3 But this is what the Lord says:
“I will reward your evil with evil;
you won’t be able to pull your neck out of the noose.
You will no longer walk around proudly,
for it will be a terrible time.”
4 In that day your enemies will make fun of you
by singing this song of despair about you:
“We are finished,
completely ruined!
God has confiscated our land,
taking it from us.
He has given our fields
to those who betrayed us.[a]”
5 Others will set your boundaries then,
and the Lord’s people will have no say
in how the land is divided.
