Micah 2:5

1
Woe to them
that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2
And they covet fields, and take
them
by violence; and houses, and take
them
away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3
Therefore thus saith the
L
ORD
; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time
is
evil.
4
In that day shall
one
take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation,
and
say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed
it
from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the
L
ORD
.
6
Prophesy ye not,
say they to them that
prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them,
that
they shall not take shame.
7
O
thou that art
named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the
L
ORD
straitened?
are
these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10
Arise ye, and depart; for this
is
not
your
rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy
you
, even with a sore destruction.
11
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie,
saying
, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of
the multitude of
men.
13
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the
L
ORD
on the head of them.
