Book 33 : MICAH - Chapter 002
002:001
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses,
and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even
a man and his heritage
002:002
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do
I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks;
neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil
002:003
In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and
lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly
spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he
removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields
002:004
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot
in the congregation of the LORD
002:005
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall
not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame
002:006
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the
LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good
to him that walketh uprightly
002:007
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off
the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as
men averse from war
002:008
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant
houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for
ever
002:009
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is
polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction
002:010
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I
will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall
even be the prophet of this people
002:011
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely
gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the
sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they
shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men
002:012
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and
have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and
their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of
them
