Miquéias 2:1-5

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

Miquéias 2:1-5 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 2

In this chapter complaint is made of the sins of the people of Israel, and they are threatened with punishment for them. The sins they are charged with are covetousness, oppression, and injustice, which were premeditated, and done deliberately, Mic 2:1,2; therefore the Lord devised evil against them, they should not escape; and which would bring down their pride, and cause them to take up a lamentation, because they should not enjoy the portion of land that belonged to them, Mic 2:3-5; they are further charged with opposing the prophets of the Lord, the folly and wickedness of which is exposed, Mic 2:6,7; and with great inhumanity and barbarity, even to women and children, Mic 2:8,9; and therefore are ordered to expect and prepare for a removal out of their land, Mic 2:10; and the rather, since they gave encouragement and heed to false prophets, and delighted in them, Mic 2:11; and the chapter is concluded with words of comfort to the remnant among them, and with precious promises of the Messiah, and the blessings of grace by him, Mic 2:12,13.
