# Micah 2

[1](#verse-1) Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

[2](#verse-2) They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

[3](#verse-3) Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.

[4](#verse-4) In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”

[5](#verse-5) Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.

[6](#verse-6) “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

[7](#verse-7) Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

[8](#verse-8) But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

[9](#verse-9) You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

[10](#verse-10) Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

[11](#verse-11) If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.

[12](#verse-12) I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.

[13](#verse-13) He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
