ASV_Strong : Micah 2
1. Woe[H1945] to them that devise[H2803] iniquity[H205] and work[H6466] evil[H7451] upon their beds[H4904]! when the morning[H1242] is light[H216], they practise[H6213] it[H3426], because it is in the power[H410] of their hand[H3027].
2. And they covet[H2530] fields[H7704], and seize[H1497] them[H1004]; and houses, and take them away[H5375]: and they oppress[H6231] a man[H1397] and his house[H1004], even a man[H376] and his heritage[H5159].
3. Therefore thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: Behold[H4940], against this family do I devise[H2803] an evil[H7451], from which ye shall not remove[H4185] your necks[H6677], neither shall ye walk[H3212] haughtily[H7317]; for it is an evil[H7451] time[H6256].
4. In that day[H3117] shall they take up[H5375] a parable[H4912] against you[H5091], and lament with a doleful[H5093] lamentation[H5092], and say[H559], We are utterly[H7703] ruined[H7703]: he changeth[H4171] the portion[H2506] of my people[H5971]: how doth he remove[H4185] it from me[H7725]! to the rebellious he divideth[H2505] our fields[H7704].
5. Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast[H7993] the line[H2256] by lot[H1486] in the assembly[H6951] of Jehovah[H3068].
6. Prophesy[H5197] ye not[H5197], thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy[H5197] to these[H3639]: reproaches shall not depart[H5253].
7. Shall it be said[H559], O house[H1004] of Jacob[H3290], Is the Spirit[H7307] of Jehovah[H3068] straitened[H7114]? are these his doings[H4611]? Do not my words[H1697] do good[H3190] to him that walketh[H1980] uprightly[H3477]?
8. But of late[H865] my people[H5971] is risen up[H6965] as an enemy[H341]: ye strip[H6584] the robe[H145] from off[H4136] the garment[H8008] from them that pass[H5674] by securely[H983] as men averse[H7725] from war[H4421].
9. The women[H802] of my people[H5971] ye cast out[H1644] from their pleasant[H8588] houses[H1004]; from their young children[H5768] ye take away[H3947] my glory[H1926] for ever[H5769].
10. Arise[H6965] ye[H3212], and depart; for this is not your resting-place[H4496]; because of uncleanness[H2930] that destroyeth[H2254], even with a grievous[H4834] destruction[H2254].
11. If[H3863] a man[H376] walking[H1980] in a spirit[H7307] of falsehood[H8267] do lie[H3576], saying[H5197], I will prophesy unto thee of wine[H3196] and of strong drink[H7941]; he shall even be the prophet[H5197] of this people[H5971].
12. I will surely[H622] assemble[H622], O Jacob[H3290], all of thee[H6908]; I will surely gather[H6908] the remnant[H7611] of Israel[H3478]; I will put[H7760] them together[H3162] as the sheep[H6629] of Bozrah[H1223], as a flock[H5739] in the midst[H8432] of their pasture[H1699]; they shall make great noise[H1949] by reason of the multitude of men[H120].
13. The breaker[H6555] is gone up[H5927] before[H6440] them[H6555]: they have broken forth and passed on[H5674] to the gate[H8179], and are gone out[H3318] thereat[H4428]; and their king is passed[H5674] on before[H6440] them[H3068], and Jehovah at the head of them[H7218].
