Mic Micah, chapter Book of Micah, chapter 2
Woe to those who devise iniquity
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning is light, they practise it,
because it is in the power of their hand.Isa 29:20; Psa 36:4; Mat 27:1
They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, then take them away.
They oppress a man and his house,
even a man and his heritage.Isa 5:8
Therefore the LORD says:
“Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,
from which you will not remove your necks,
neither will you walk haughtily,
for it is an evil time.Jer 18:11; Amo 5:13
In that day they will take up a parable against you,
and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,
‘We are utterly ruined!
My people’s possession is divided up.
Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”1Ki 9:7
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.Deu 32:9
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—
“Don’t prophesy about these things.
Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob,
“Is the LORD’s Spirit angry?
Are these his doings?
Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”Psa 119:72
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
Arise, and depart!
For this is not your resting place,
because of uncleanness that destroys,
even with a grievous destruction.Ezk 11:7; Lev 18:24
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying,
“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,”
he would be the prophet of this people.Ezk 13:3
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob.
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel.
I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
as a flock in the middle of their pasture.
They will swarm with people.Hos 11:1; Ezk 36:37; Jhn 10:16
He who breaks open the way goes up before them.
They break through the gate, and go out.
Their king passes on before them,
