Micah 2:1-13

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}

2:5

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast
<07993> (8688)

a cord
<02256>

by lot
<01486>

in the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

2:6

Prophesy
<05197> (8686)

ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy
<05197> (8686)_:

they shall not prophesy
<05197> (8686)

to them, [that] they shall not take
<05253> (8799)

shame
<03639>_.

{Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}

2:7

O [thou that art] named
<0559> (8803)

the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

is the spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

straitened
<07114> (8804)_?

[are] these his doings
<04611>_?

do not my words
<01697>

do good
<03190> (8686)

to him that walketh
<01980> (8802)

uprightly
<03477>_?

{straitened: or, shortened?} {uprightly: Heb. upright?}

2:8

Even of late
<0865>

my people
<05971>

is risen up
<06965> (8787)

as an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

ye pull off
<06584> (8686)

the robe
<0145>

with
<04136>

the garment
<08008>

from them that pass
<05674> (8802)

by securely
<0983>

as men averse
<07725> (8803)

from war
<04421>_.

{of late: Heb. yesterday} {with the: Heb. over against a}

2:9

The women
<0802>

of my people
<05971>

have ye cast out
<01644> (8762)

from their pleasant
<08588>

houses
<01004>_;

from their children
<05768>

have ye taken away
<03947> (8799)

my glory
<01926>

for ever
<05769>_.

{women: or, wives}

2:10

Arise
<06965> (8798)

ye, and depart
<03212> (8798)_;

for this [is] not [your] rest
<04496>_:

because it is polluted
<02930> (8800)_,

it shall destroy
<02254> (8762)

[you], even with a sore
<04834> (8737)

destruction
<02256>_.

2:11

If
<03863>

a man
<0376>

walking
<01980> (8802)

in the spirit
<07307>

and falsehood
<08267>

do lie
<03576> (8765)_,

[saying], I will prophesy
<05197> (8686)

unto thee of wine
<03196>

and of strong drink
<07941>_;

he shall even be the prophet
<05197> (8688)

of this people
<05971>_.

{walking...: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}

2:12

I will surely
<0622> (8800)

assemble
<0622> (8799)_,

O Jacob
<03290>_,

all of thee; I will surely
<06908> (8763)

gather
<06908> (8762)

the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I will put
<07760> (8799)

them together
<03162>

as the sheep
<06629>

of Bozrah
<01223> (8677) <01224>_,

as the flock
<05739>

in the midst
<08432>

of their fold
<01699>_:

they shall make great noise
<01949> (8686)

by reason of [the multitude of] men
<0120>_.

2:13

The breaker
<06555> (8802)

is come up
<05927> (8804)

before
<06440>

them: they have broken up
<06555> (8804)_,

and have passed through
<05674> (8799)

the gate
<08179>_,

and are gone out
<03318> (8799)

by it: and their king
<04428>

shall pass
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

them, and the LORD
<03068>

on the head
<07218>

of them.
