Micah 2:1 · BSB

Micah 2:1 in context

The verses around it, from Micah 2.

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they accomplish it because the power is in their hands.

2 They covet fields and seize them; they take away houses. They deprive a man of his home, a fellow man of his inheritance.

3 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I am planning against this nation a disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of calamity.

4 In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”

5 Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.
