Micah 2
1 Woe to! [those who] plan wickedness and [those who] do evil on beds their at [the] light the morning they do it for there [belongs] to [the] power of hand their.
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they desire fields and they seize [them] and houses and they take [them] and they oppress a man and household his and a man and inheritance his.
And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] planning on the clan this calamity which not you will remove from there necks your and not you will walk haughtily for [will be] a time evil it.
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
4 On the day that someone will lift up on you a saying and he will wail a wailing it is finished he will say utterly we are devastated [the] portion of people my he exchanges how! he removes [it] for me to an apostate fields our he apportions.
In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We be utterly spoiled: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove [it] from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.
5 Therefore not he will belong to you [one who] casts a measuring-line by lot in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6 May not you prophesy they prophesy! not they will prophesy of these [things] not it will be turned back ignomini[es].
Prophesy ye not, [thus] they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
7 ¿ [is it] said O house of Jacob ¿ is it short [the] spirit of Yahweh or? [are] these deeds his ¿ not words my do they do good with the upright [person] walking.
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 And yesterday people my to an enemy he raises up from in front of a garment a mantle you strip off! from [those who] pass by security [those who] return of war.
But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war.
9 [the] women of People my you drive out! from [the] house of delights her from with children her you take away glory my for ever.
The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
10 Arise and go for not this [is] resting place because it has become unclean it will destroy and [the] destruction [will be] grievous.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.
11 If anyone walking of wind and falsehood he told a lie I will prophesy for you of wine and of strong drink and he will be [the] prophesier of the people this.
If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 Surely I will gather O Jacob all of you surely I will assemble [the] remnant of Israel together I will make it like sheep a sheepfold like a flock in [the] midst of pasture its they will be distraught from humankind.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah: as a flock in the midst of their pasture, they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
13 He will go up the [one who] breaks through before them they will break through and they have passed through [the] gate and they have gone out by it and he has passed on king their before them and Yahweh [will be] at head their.
The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat: and their king is passed on before them, and the LORD at the head of them.
