Mic 2:5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

Mic 2:12

Mic 2:13

Mic 2:13The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
