Micah 2:1-13 — Woe to Oppressors; Deliverance Promised

Mic.2.1-13

¹Woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil on their beds! At morning light they carry it out, because it lies in the power of their hand. ²They covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away; they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance. ³Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am devising disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks; you will not walk proudly, for it will be an evil time. ⁴On that day they will take up a taunt against you and lament a bitter lament, saying, 'We are completely ruined! He changes the portion of my people. How he removes it from me! He divides our fields among traitors.' ⁵Therefore you will have no one to cast a measuring line by lot in the assembly of the LORD. ⁶“Do not preach ,” they say. “One must not preach about such things; disgrace will not overtake us.” ⁷Should it be said, O house of Jacob, 'Has the Spirit of the LORD grown short? Are these his deeds?' Do not my words do good to the one who walks uprightly? ⁸But recently my people have risen up like an enemy; you strip the robe from those who pass by in security, men returning from war. ⁹You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant homes; from their children you take away my splendor forever. ¹⁰Rise up and go, for this is not the place of rest; because of uncleanness it brings destruction, a grievous destruction. ¹¹If a man walking in wind and falsehood should lie, saying, 'I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,' he would be just the preacher for this people. ¹²I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely assemble the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in Bozrah , like a flock in the midst of its pasture; they will be noisy with people. ¹³The one who breaks through goes up before them; they break through and pass through the gate and go out by it. Their king passes through before them, and the LORD is at their head.
