Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil upon their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
They covet fields, and seize them;
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
Therefore thus says the Lord:
Behold, against this family I am devising evil,
from which you cannot remove your necks;
and you shall not walk haughtily,
for it will be an evil time.
In that day they shall take up a taunt song against you,
and wail with bitter lamentation,
and say, \u201cWe are utterly ruined;
he changes the portion of my people;
how he removes it from me!
Among our captors he divides our fields.\u201d
Therefore you will have none to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo not preach\u201d\u2014thus they preach\u2014
\u201cone should not preach of such things;
disgrace will not overtake us.\u201d
Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?
Are these his doings?
Do not my words do good
to him who walks uprightly?
But you rise against my people as an enemy;
you strip the robe from the peaceful,
from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.
The women of my people you drive out
from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away
my glory for ever.
Arise and go,
for this is no place to rest;
because of uncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.
If a man should go about and utter wind and lies,
saying, \u201cI will preach to you of wine and strong drink,\u201d
he would be the preacher for this people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob,
I will gather the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
He who opens the breach will go up before them;
they will break through and pass the gate,
going out by it.
Their king will pass on before them,
the Lord at their head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013Micah 2:1-13<\/p>
