MICAH
Chapter 2
Mica | UKJV | 2:1 | Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:2 | 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. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:3 | Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which all of you shall not remove your necks; neither shall all of you go haughtily: for this time is evil. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:4 | In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he has changed the portion of my people: how has he removed it from me! turning away he has divided our fields. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:5 | Therefore you shall have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:6 | Prophesy all of you not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:7 | O you that are 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 walks uprightly? | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:8 | Even of late my people has risen up as an enemy: all of you pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:9 | The women of my people have all of you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have all of you taken away my glory for ever. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:10 | Arise all of you, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:11 | If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto you of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. | |
Mica | UKJV | 2:12 | I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; 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. | |
