Micah:2:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe to them that devise iniquity ,
and work evil upon their beds !
when the morning is light ,
they practise it ,
because it is in the power of their hand .
*
And they covet fields ,
and take them by violence ;
and houses ,
and take them away :
so they oppress a man and his house ,
even a man and his heritage .
*
Therefore thus saith the LORD ;
Behold ,
against this family do I devise an evil ,
from which ye shall not remove your necks ;
neither shall ye go haughtily :
for this time is evil .
*
In that day shall one take up a parable against you ,
and lament with a doleful lamentation ,
and say ,
We be utterly spoiled :
he hath changed the portion of my people :
how hath he removed it from me !
turning away he hath divided our fields .
*
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD .
