Michée, Chapters 2-3: BIBLE, New International Version == BIBLE-CENTRE

Micah, Chapter 2

¹ Woe to those who plan iniquity,
to those who plot evil on their beds!
At morning's light they carry it out
because it is in their power to do it.

² They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and take them.
They defraud a man of his home,
a fellowman of his inheritance.

³ Therefore, the LORD says:

⁴ In that day men will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
'We are utterly ruined;
my people's possession is divided up.
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.' "

⁵ Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD
to divide the land by lot.

⁶ "Do not prophesy," their prophets say.
"Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace will not overtake us."

⁷ Should it be said, O house of Jacob:
"Is the Spirit of the LORD angry?
Does he do such things?"

⁸ Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.

⁹ You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.

¹⁰ Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,
because it is defiled,
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.

¹¹ If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,'
he would be just the prophet for this people!

¹² "I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.

¹³ One who breaks open the way will go up before them;
they will break through the gate and go out.
Their king will pass through before them,
the LORD at their head."

Micah, Chapter 3

¹ Then I said,

² you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;

³ who eat my people's flesh,
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;
who chop them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?"

⁴ Then they will cry out to the LORD ,
but he will not answer them.
At that time he will hide his face from them
because of the evil they have done.

⁵ This is what the LORD says:

⁶ Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.
The sun will set for the prophets,
and the day will go dark for them.

⁷ The seers will be ashamed
and the diviners disgraced.
They will all cover their faces
because there is no answer from God."

⁸ But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the LORD ,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.

⁹ Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob,
you rulers of the house of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;

¹⁰ who build Zion with bloodshed,
and Jerusalem with wickedness.

¹¹ Her leaders judge for a bribe,
her priests teach for a price,
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.
Yet they lean upon the LORD and say,
"Is not the LORD among us?
No disaster will come upon us."

¹² Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,
the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.
