Micah 2:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
Now, I am devising against this family an evil
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk arrogantly,
for it will be an evil time.(A)
4 On that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
and wail with bitter lamentation
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
the Lord[a] alters the inheritance of my people;
how he removes it from me!
Among our captors[b] he parcels out our fields.”(B)
5 Therefore you will have no one in the Lord’s assembly
to allot you a piece of land.(C)
Micah 2:3-5
Holman 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)
