Micah 2:5 in context

Micah 2:2–8

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

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

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
Selected verse

Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.

6

“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—

“Don’t prophesy about these things.

Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

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

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.
