Micah 2:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² They want fields, so they take them.
    They want houses, so they take them.
They cheat a man
    and take his house and his land.

³ That is why the Lord says:
“Look, I am planning trouble against this family.
    You will not be able to save yourselves.^[a]
You will stop being proud,
    because bad times are coming.
⁴ Then people will sing songs about you.
    They will sing this sad song:
‘We are ruined!
    The Lord took away our land and gave it to other people.
Yes, he took my land away from me.
    He has divided our fields among our enemies.
