Miquéias 2:2

2 E cobiçam campos, e os arrebatam, e casas, e as tomam; assim fazem violência a um homem e � sua casa, a uma pessoa e � sua herança.

Miquéias 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 2:2

And they covet fields, and take [them] by violence
The fields of their poor neighbours, which lie near them, and convenient for them; they wish they were theirs, and they contrive ways and means to get them into their possession; and if they cannot get them by fair means, if they cannot persuade them to sell them, or at their price, they will either use some crafty method to get them from them, or they will take them away by force and violence; as Ahab got Naboth's vineyard from him: and houses, and take [them] away;
they covet the houses of their neighbours also, and take the same course to get them out of their hands, and add them to their own estates: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage;
not only dispossess him of his house to dwell in, but of his paternal inheritance, what he received from his ancestors, and should have transmitted to his posterity, being unalienable; and so distressed a man and his family for the present, and his posterity after him. The Vulgate Latin version is, "they calumniate a man and his house"; which seems to be designed to make it agree with the story of Ahab, ( 1 Kings 21:13 ) .

Miquéias 2:2 In-Context

1 Ai daqueles que nas suas camas maquinam a iniqüidade e planejam o mal! quando raia o dia, põem-no por obra, pois está no poder da sua mão.
2 E cobiçam campos, e os arrebatam, e casas, e as tomam; assim fazem violência a um homem e � sua casa, a uma pessoa e � sua herança.
3 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor. Eis que contra esta família maquino um mal, de que não retirareis os vossos pescoços; e não andareis arrogantemente; porque o tempo sera mau.
4 Naquele dia surgirá contra vós um motejo, e se levantará pranto lastimoso, dizendo: Nós estamos inteiramente despojados; a porção do meu povo ele a troca; como ele a remove de mim! aos rebeldes reparte os nossos campos.
5 Portanto, não terás tu na cogregação do Senhor quem lance o cordel pela sorte
