Micah 2:2-4

Common English Bible

² They covet fields and seize them,
        houses and take them away.
    They oppress a householder and those in his house,
        a man and his estate.
³ Therefore, the Lord proclaims:
    I myself am devising an evil against this family
        from which you will not be able to remove your necks!
    You will no longer be able to go about arrogantly,
        for it will be an evil time.
⁴ On that day, a taunt will be raised against you;
        someone will wail bitterly:
        “We are utterly destroyed!
        He exchanges the portion of my people;
            he removes what belongs to me;
            he gives away our fields to a rebel.”
