Woe to Evildoers
And1 work out evil on their beds!
At amorning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
“Behold, against this afamily I am devising bdisaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time.
And alament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the1 heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To1 a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”
| << Micah 1:16 | Micah 2:2 >> |
