Micah

Condemnation of Oppressors Who Covet Land

2
Chapter 2
1 Alas for planners of On and doers of evil on their beds! At the light of morning they do it, for their hand is to God. 2 And they covet fields and rob houses and carry them away and oppress a mighty man and his house, a man and his inheritance. 3 Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am reckoning against this family an evil from which you will not remove your necks—and you will not walk upright, for it is a time of evil. 4 On that day one will lift up against you a rule and wail a wailing we wailed: he has plundered, they have been plundered, the inheritance of my people he will exchange. How he will remove it for Leah to turn back! His plunderers he will divide. 5 Therefore there will not be for you one who casts a measuring line by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
