Micah 2:1-2
New King James Version
Woe to Evildoers
2 Woe to those who devise iniquity,
And [a]work out evil on their beds!
At (A)morning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They (B)covet fields and take them by violence,
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.

You have gained (F)riches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;

And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”
