Micah 第2章
Woe to the Oppressors
and work evil 2:1 [Ps. 36:4]on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against 2:3 [Jer. 8:3; Amos 3:1, 2] this family I am devising disaster,2:3 The same Hebrew word can mean evil or disaster, depending on the context
from which you cannot remove your necks,

and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
2:4 [ch. 1:15] he changes the portion of my people;
2:4 [ch. 1:15] how he removes it from me!
2:4 [Ps. 68:6]To an apostate he allots our fields.”
5Therefore you will have none 2:5 Deut. 32:8, 9; [Josh. 14:1, 2]to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.
2:6 [Amos 8:10]disgrace will not overtake us.”
7Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
Are these his deeds?
Do not my words do good

2:12 [2 Kgs. 25:11] I will gather 2:12 See ch. 4:7the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
2:12 [Jer. 31:10]like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
132:13 [2 Kgs. 25:10] He who opens the breach goes up before them;
they break through and pass the gate,
2:13 [ch. 4:10] going out by it.
Their king passes on before them,
2:13 [Isa. 52:12]the Lord at their head.
