Micah 2:1-4

2:1

Woe
<01945>

to them that devise
<02803> (8802)

iniquity
<0205>_,

and work
<06466> (8802)

evil
<07451>

upon their beds
<04904>_!

when the morning
<01242>

is light
<0216>_,

they practise
<06213> (8799)

it, because it is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of their hand
<03027>_.

2:2

And they covet
<02530> (8804)

fields
<07704>_,

and take [them] by violence
<01497> (8804)_;

and houses
<01004>_,

and take [them] away
<05375> (8804)_:

so they oppress
<06231> (8804)

a man
<01397>

and his house
<01004>_,

even a man
<0376>

and his heritage
<05159>_.

{oppress: or, defraud}

2:3

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, against this family
<04940>

do I devise
<02803> (8802)

an evil
<07451>_,

from which ye shall not remove
<04185> (8686)

your necks
<06677>_;

neither shall ye go
<03212> (8799)

haughtily
<07317>_:

for this time
<06256>

[is] evil
<07451>_.

2:4

In that day
<03117>

shall [one] take up
<05375> (8799)

a parable
<04912>

against you, and lament
<05091> (8804)

with a doleful
<05093>

lamentation
<05092>_,

[and] say
<0559> (8804)_,

We be utterly
<07703> (8800)

spoiled
<07703> (8738)_:

he hath changed
<04171> (8686)

the portion
<02506>

of my people
<05971>_:

how hath he removed
<04185> (8686)

[it] from me! turning away
<07725> (8788)

he hath divided
<02505> (8762)

our fields
<07704>_.

{a doleful...: Heb. a lamentation of lamentations} {turning...: or, instead of restoring}
