Text -- Micah 2:7-13 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
2:7 Does the family of Jacob say , ‘The Lord’s patience can’t be exhausted – he would never do such things ’? To be sure, my commands bring a reward for those who obey them,
2:8 but you rise up as an enemy against my people . You steal a robe from a friend, from those who pass by peacefully as if returning from a war .
2:9 You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes . You defraud their children of their prized inheritance .
2:10 But you are the ones who will be forced to leave ! For this land is not secure ! Sin will thoroughly destroy it!
2:11 If a lying windbag should come and say , ‘I’ll promise you blessings of wine and beer ,’ he would be just the right preacher for these people !
The Lord Will Restore His People
2:12 I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob , I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain . I will bring them together like sheep in a fold , like a flock in the middle of a pasture ; they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise .
2:13 The one who can break through barriers will lead them out they will break out , pass through the gate , and leave . Their king will advance before them, The Lord himself will lead them.
