Micah 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

They covet ^H2530 fields ^H7704, so they seize ^H1497 them;

And houses ^H1004, so they take ^H5375 them.

They [fn]exploit ^H6231 a man ^H1397 and his house ^H1004,

A person ^H376 and his inheritance ^H5159.

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Behold ^H2009, I am planning ^H2803 against ^H5921 this ^H2088 family ^H4940 a catastrophe ^H7451

From which ^H834 you cannot ^H3808 remove ^H4185 your necks ^H6677;

And you will not walk ^H1980 haughtily ^H7317,

For it will be an evil ^H7451 time ^H6256.

“On that day ^H3117 they will take ^H5375 up ^H5375 against ^H5921 you a [fn]song ^H4912 of ^H4912 mocking ^H4912

And [fn]utter ^H5091 a song ^H5092 of ^H7015 mourning ^H7015 and say ^H559,

‘We are completely ^H7703 destroyed ^H7703!

He exchanges ^H4171 the share ^H2506 of my people ^H5971;

How ^H349 He removes ^H4185 it from me!

To the apostate ^H7728 He apportions ^H2505 our fields ^H7704.’

“Therefore ^H3651 you will have ^H1961 no ^H3808 one [fn]applying ^H7993 a measuring ^H2256 line ^H2256

For you by lot ^H1486 in the assembly ^H6951 of the LORD ^H3068.

‘Do not prophesy ^H5197,’ so they prophesy ^H5197.

But if [fn]they do not prophesy ^H5197 about these ^H428 things ^H428,

Insults ^H3639 will not be turned ^H5472 back ^H5472.

“Is it being said ^H559, house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290:

‘Is the Spirit ^H7307 of the LORD ^H3068 impatient ^H7114?

Are these ^H428 His works ^H4611?’

Do My words ^H1697 not do ^H3190 good ^H3190

For the one walking ^H1980 rightly ^H3477?

“[fn]Recently ^H865 My people ^H5971 have arisen ^H6965 as an enemy ^H340—

You strip ^H6584 the robe ^H155 off ^H6584 the garment ^H8008

From unsuspecting ^H983 passers-by ^H5674,

From those returned ^H7725 from war ^H4421.

“You evict ^H1644 the women ^H802 of My people ^H5971,

Each one from her pleasant ^H8588 house ^H1004.

From her children ^H5768 you take ^H3947 My splendor ^H1926 forever ^H5769.

“Arise ^H6965 and go ^H1980,

For this ^H2088 is no ^H3808 place ^H4496 of ^H4496 rest ^H4496

Because ^H5668 of the uncleanness ^H2932 that brings ^H2254 on destruction ^H2254,

A painful ^H4834 destruction ^H2256.

“If ^H3863 someone ^H376 walking ^H1980 after wind ^H7307 and falsehood ^H8267

Had lied ^H3576 and said,

‘I will prophesy ^H5197 to you about wine ^H3196 and liquor ^H7941,’

He would become ^H1961 a prophet ^H5197 to this ^H2088 people ^H5971.

“I will certainly ^H622 assemble ^H622 all ^H3605 of you, Jacob ^H3290,

I will certainly ^H6908 gather ^H6908 the remnant ^H7611 of Israel ^H3478.

I will put ^H7760 them together ^H3162 like sheep ^H6629 in the fold ^H1223;

Like a flock ^H5739 in the midst ^H8432 of its pasture ^H1699

They will be ^H1993 noisy ^H1993 with people ^H120.

“The one who breaks ^H6555 through ^H6555 goes ^H5927 up ^H5927 before ^H6440 them;

They break ^H6555 through ^H6555, pass ^H5674 through ^H5674 the gate ^H8179, and go ^H3318 out ^H3318 by it.

So their king ^H4428 passes ^H5674 on ^H5674 before ^H6440 them,

And the LORD ^H3068 at their head ^H7218.”
