Micah 2:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)
Micah 2:3-5
International Standard Version
3 “Therefore this is what the Lord says,
‘I’m crafting evil against this family,
from which you can’t escape.[a]
You won’t strut around arrogantly,
because the times are evil.’
4 “When this happens,[b] someone will compose a proverb about you, lamenting sorrowfully,
‘We are completely ruined!
He has given my people’s heritage to others.[c]
How he has removed it from me,
dividing up our fields!’
5 “This is why there will not be left even a single person
to settle boundary disputes[d] in the Lord’s community.
