Micah 2

1WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205 and workH6466 evilH7451 uponH5921 their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practise it, becauseH3588 it is in the powerH3027 of their handH3027. 2And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and seizeH1497 them; and housesH1004, and takeH5375 them awayH5375: and they oppressH6231 a manH376 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. 3Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2005, againstH5921 this familyH4940 do I deviseH2803 an evilH7451, from whichH834 ye shall notH3808 removeH4185 your necksH6677, neitherH3808 shall ye walk haughtilyH7317; for it is an evilH7451 time. 4In that dayH3117 shall they takeH5375 upH5375 a parableH4912 againstH5921 youH5921, and lament with a doleful lamentationH5092, and sayH559, WeH3117 be utterly spoiled: he changeth the portionH2506 of my peopleH5971: howH349 doth he removeH4185 it from meH5921! to the rebellious he divideth our fieldsH7704. 5Therefore thou shalt have noneH3808 that shall castH7993 the lineH2256 by lotH1486 in the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068. 6Prophesy ye notH3808, thusH3808 they prophesy. They shall notH3808 prophesy to theseH428: reproachesH3639 shall notH3808 depart. 7Shall it be saidH559, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, Is the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 straitened? are theseH428 his doingsH1697? DoH3190 notH3808 my wordsH1697 doH3190 goodH3190 to him that walketh uprightlyH3477? 8But of late my peopleH5971 is risenH6965 upH6965 as an enemyH341: ye stripH6584 the robeH8008 from offH6584 the garmentH8008 from them that passH5674 by securelyH983 as menH5971 averse from warH4421. 9The womenH802 of my peopleH5971 ye cast outH1644 from their pleasantH8588 housesH1004; from their young childrenH5768 ye takeH3947 awayH3947 my glory for everH5769. 10AriseH6965 ye, and depart; for this is notH3808 your restH4496: becauseH3588 of uncleanness that destroyeth, evenH3588 with a grievous destruction. 11IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in windH7307 and falsehoodH8267 doH2088 lieH8267, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wineH3196 and of strongH7941 drinkH7941; he shall even be the prophetH376 of this peopleH5971. 12I will surelyH622 assembleH622, O JacobH3290, allH3605 of thee; I will surelyH622 gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478; I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of Bozrah: as a flockH6629 in the midstH8432 of their pastureH1699, they shall makeH7760 great noise by reason of the multitude of menH120. 13The breakerH6555 is goneH3318 upH5927 beforeH6440 them: they have brokenH6555 forthH3318 and passedH5674 on to the gateH8179, and are goneH3318 outH3318 thereat: and their kingH4428 is passedH5674 on beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 at the headH7218 of them.
