Micah 2:1-6,8-10 Woe to you who lie awake at night, plotting wickedness; you rise at dawn to carry out your schemes; because you can, you do. V2 You want a certain piece of land, or someone else’s house (though it is all he has); you take it by fraud and threats and violence. V3 But the Lord God says, I will reward your evil with evil; nothing can stop Me; never again will you be proud and haughty after I am through with you. V4 Then your enemies will taunt you and mock your dirge of despair: “We are finished, ruined. God has confiscated our land and sent us far away, and given what is ours to others.” V5 Others will set your boundries then. “The people of the Lord” will live where they are sent. V6 “Don’t say such things,” the people say. Don’t harp on things like that. It’s disgraceful, that sort of talk. Such evils surely will not come our way.”
V8 Yet to this very hour my people rise against me. For you steal the shirts right off the backs of those who trusted you, who walk in peace. V9 You have driven out widows from their homes, and stripped their children of every God-given right. V10 Up! Begone! This is no more your land and home, for you have filled it with sin and it will vomit you out.
