Micah 2:3

2:3 Therefore the Lord says this: “Look, I am devising disaster for this nation! ⁵ 

It will be like a yoke from which you cannot free your neck. ⁶

for it will be a time of catastrophe.

¹ tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.

² tn Or “Draw near.”

³ tn Or “drew near.”

⁴ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

⁷ tn Heb “clan” or “extended family.”

⁸ tn Heb “from which you will not remove your neck.” The words “It will be like a yoke” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁹ tn Or “you will not.”
