Micah 2:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
I am now planning(A) a disaster
against this nation;(B)
you cannot free your necks from it.(C)
Then you will not walk so proudly(D)
because it will be an evil time.(E)
4 In that day one will take up(F) a taunt against you
and lament mournfully,(G) saying,
“We are totally ruined!(H)
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How he removes it from me!
He allots our fields(I) to traitors.”
5 Therefore, there will be no one
in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by casting lots.[a](J)

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.
