Micah 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity And work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand.

3 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, From which you will not remove your necks, Neither will you walk haughtily; For it is an evil time.

4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, And lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined! My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'"

9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; From their young children you take away my blessing forever.

10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, Because of uncleanness that destroys, Even with a grievous destruction.

11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: 'I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;' He would be the prophet of this people.

12 I will surely assemble, Ya`akov, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Yisra'el; I will put them together as the sheep of Botzrah, As a flock in the midst of their pasture; They will throng with people.

13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, With the LORD at their head."
