Miqueas 2:2

2 Codician campos y se apoderan de ellos, casas, y las toman. Roban al dueño y a su casa, al hombre y a su heredad.

Miqueas 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 ) .

Miqueas 2:2 In-Context

1 ¡Ay de los que planean la iniquidad, los que traman el mal en sus camas! Al clarear la mañana lo ejecutan, porque está en el poder de sus manos.
2 Codician campos y se apoderan de ellos, casas, y las toman. Roban al dueño y a su casa, al hombre y a su heredad.
3 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí, estoy planeando traer contra esta familia un mal del cual no libraréis vuestro cuello, ni andaréis erguidos; porque será un tiempo malo.
4 En aquel día se dirá contra vosotros un refrán y se proferirá una amarga lamentación, diciendo: "Hemos sido totalmente destruidos; El ha cambiado la porción de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo me la ha quitado! Al infiel ha repartido nuestros campos."
5 Por tanto, no habrá quién eche para vosotros el cordel en el sorteo en la asamblea del SEÑOR.
