Micah 2:3-5
New Living Translation
3 But this is what the Lord says:
“I will reward your evil with evil;
you won’t be able to pull your neck out of the noose.
You will no longer walk around proudly,
for it will be a terrible time.”
4 In that day your enemies will make fun of you
by singing this song of despair about you:
“We are finished,
completely ruined!
God has confiscated our land,
taking it from us.
He has given our fields
to those who betrayed us.[a]”
5 Others will set your boundaries then,
and the Lord’s people will have no say
in how the land is divided.

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.
