Micah 5:10

Micah 2:4

2:4 In that day people will sing this taunt song to you –

they will mock you with this lament: ⁴ 

‘We are completely destroyed;

they sell off ⁵  the property of my people.

How they remove it from me! ⁶ 

They assign our fields to the conqueror.’ ⁷ 

[7:11]  ¹ sn Personified Jerusalem declares her confidence in vv. 8-10; in this verse she is assured that she will indeed be vindicated.

[4:6]  ² sn The exiles of the nation are compared to lame and injured sheep.

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “cut off” (also in the following verse).

[2:4]  ⁴ tc The form נִהְיָה (nihyah) should be omitted as dittographic (note the preceding וְנָהָה נְהִי vÿnahah nÿhiy).

[2:4]  ⁵ tn Or “exchange.” The LXX suggests a reading יִמַּד (yimmad) from מָדַד (madad, “to measure”). In this case one could translate, “the property of my people is measured out [i.e., for resale].”

[2:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “how one removes for me.” Apparently the preposition has the nuance “from” here (cf. KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[2:4]  ⁷ tc The Hebrew term שׁוֹבֵב (shovev, “the one turning back”) elsewhere has the nuance “apostate” (cf. NASB) or “traitor” (cf. NIV). The translation assumes an emendation to שָׁבָה (shavah, “captor”).
