Micah:2:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe to them that devise iniquity ,
And contrive evil upon their beds ;
When the morning is light ,
they practise it ,
Because it is in the power of their hand .
*
They covet fields ,
and take them by violence ;
Houses ,
and take them from their owners .
They defraud a man of his house ;
Yea ,
a man of his inheritance .
*
Therefore ,
thus saith Jehovah :
Behold ,
against this race do I meditate evil .
From which ye shall not remove your necks ,
nor lift up your heads ;
For it shall be a time of evil .
*
In that day shall this song be uttered concerning thee .
And this sad lamentation be made : "
We are utterly laid waste ;
He hath changed the portion of my people ;
How hath he torn it from me !
He hath taken away and distributed our fields ."
*
Behold ,
thou shalt have no one henceforth Who shall draw out a line for a portion ,
In the congregation of Jehovah .
