Miquéias 2:2

2 Cobiçam terrenos e se apoderam deles;cobiçam casas e as tomam.Fazem violência ao homem e à sua família;a ele e aos seus herdeiros.

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 planejam maldade,dos que tramam o mal em suas camas!Quando alvorece, eles o executam,porque isso eles podem fazer.

2 Cobiçam terrenos e se apoderam deles;cobiçam casas e as tomam.Fazem violência ao homem e à sua família;a ele e aos seus herdeiros.

3 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR:“Estou planejando contra essa gente uma desgraça,da qual vocês não poderão livrar-se.Vocês não vão mais andar com arrogância,pois será tempo de desgraça.

4 Naquele dia, vocês serão ridicularizados;zombarão de vocês com esta triste canção:‘Estamos totalmente arruinados;dividida foi a propriedade do meu povo.Ele tirou-a de mim!Entregou a invasores as nossas terras’.”

5 Portanto, vocês não estarão na assembleia dopara a divisão da terra por sorteio.
