Micah 2:3-5
Amplified Bible
3 Therefore, thus says the Lord,
“Behold, I am planning against this family a disaster (exile)
[Like a noose] from which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor will you be able to walk haughtily and erect,
For it will be an evil time [of subjugation to the invaders].
4
“On that day they shall take up a [taunting, deriding] parable against you
And wail with a doleful and bitter song of mourning and say,
‘We are completely destroyed!
God exchanges the inheritance of my people;
How He removes it from me!
He divides our fields to the rebellious [our captors].’
5
“Therefore, you will have no one stretching a measuring line [dividing the common land]
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.(A)
Micah 2:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am (A)planning against this (B)family a catastrophe
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]song of mocking
And [b](G)utter a song of mourning and say,
‘We are completely (H)destroyed!
He exchanges the share of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He (I)apportions our fields.’
5 Therefore you will have no one [c](J)applying a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.
