Micah 2:2-4

The Voice

²They see fields they want and take them.
They see houses, and they grab them up.
They persecute each landowner, taking all that belongs to him—
including his freedom and his children’s inheritance.

³Eternal One: Look at what I am doing:
        I am preparing a calamity for you people,
    A yoke from which you will not be able to free your necks.
        You will not be able to walk with your noses in the air
    Because the times will be disastrous indeed.

⁴On that day, you will be a subject of parodies;
    each of you land stealers will sing a dirge and say,
“Oh no! We’re completely ruined!
    God has divided up my family’s inheritance.
And how has He taken it out of my hands?
    He has given my land to the conquerors.”
