Micah 2 : 3 - 10
Chapter 2
3 | Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.
|
4 | In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying: "We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; How He has removed it from me! To a turncoat He has divided our fields."'
|
5 | Therefore you will have no one to determine boundaries by lot In the assembly of the LORD.
|
6 | "Do not prattle," you say to those who prophesy. So they shall not prophesy to you; They shall not return insult for insult.
|
7 | You who are named the house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good To him who walks uprightly?
|
8 | "Lately My people have risen up as an enemy--You pull off the robe with the garment From those who trust you, as they pass by, Like men returned from war.
|
9 | The women of My people you cast out From their pleasant houses; From their children You have taken away My glory forever.
|
10 | "Arise and depart, For this is not your rest; Because it is defiled, it shall destroy, Yes, with utter destruction.
