Micah 2

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 2 of 7

1 Woe to those plotting wickedness and preparing evil on their beds! In the light of the morning they do it, because it is in the power of their hand.

2 And they covet and seize fields and houses, and bear them off. And they oppress a man and his household, even a man and his possesion.

3 So thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am plotting an evil against this family, from which you shall not remove your necks from there; and you shall not go exalted, for it is an evil time.
