Micah 2
American Standard Version
2 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time. 4 In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament [a]with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he [b]remove it from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields. 5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
6 [c]Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy [d]to these: reproaches shall not depart. 7 [e]Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah [f]straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 8 But [g]of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. 9 The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever. 10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction. 11 If a man walking [h]in a spirit of falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 13 The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.

Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
欺压者的命运
2 祸哉，那些在床上图谋罪孽、筹划恶事的人！
天一亮，他们因手中有能力就去行恶。
2 他们看上田地就占据，
贪图房屋便夺取；
他们欺压户主和他的家庭，
霸占人和他的产业。
3 所以耶和华如此说：
看哪，我筹划灾祸降与这家族；
这灾祸在你们颈项上无法解脱，
你们也不能昂首而行，
因为这是灾祸的时刻。
4 到那日，必有人为你们唱诗歌，
用悲哀的哀歌哀号，说：
“我们全然败落，
我百姓的产业易主了！
耶和华竟然使它离开我，
我们的田地为悖逆的人所瓜分了！”
5 因此，你必无人能在耶和华的会中
抽签拉绳[a]。
6 他们传讲说：“不可传讲；
人都不可传讲这些事，
羞辱不会临到我们。”
7 雅各家啊，可这么说吗[b]？
耶和华没有耐心吗？
这些事是他所行的吗？
我的言语岂不是与行动正直的人有益吗？
8 然而，近来我的百姓兴起如仇敌。
你们剥去那些安然行路、不愿打仗之人身上的外衣，
9 把我百姓中的妇人从安乐家中赶出，
又将我的荣耀从她们孩子身上永远夺去。
10 起来，走吧！
这里并非安歇之处；
因为不洁净带来毁坏，
且是大大的毁坏。
11 若有人心存虚假，用谎言说[c]：
“我向你们传讲可得清酒和烈酒[d]”，
那人就必作这百姓的传讲者。
12 雅各家啊，我定要聚集你们，
定要召集以色列的余民，
将他们安置在一处，如波斯拉[e]的羊，
又如草场上的羊群，
人数众多，大大喧哗。
13 开路的在他们前面上去，
直闯过城门，从城门出去；
他们的王在前面行，
耶和华在他们的前头。
