Woe to those who plot evil in the light of the dawn - Micah 2


Woe to those who plot evil in the light of the dawn 
1 - To them that put iniquity in their beds, and devise evil; in the light of the morning do it, for it is in the power of his hand!
2 And they covet fields, and steal them, covet houses, and snatch them; so they do violence to a man and his house, to a person and to his inheritance.
3 - Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I have planted an evil against this family, from which thou shalt not take away thy necks, and ye shall not walk so proudly, for the time shall be evil.
4 - In that day a proverb shall arise upon you, and you shall mourn for mourning, saying, We are utterly desolate; the portion of my people he exchanges; how he strips me! Take our fields and give them away!
5 - Therefore thou shalt not cast thyself in the congregation of the LORD for the lot.
6 - Do not prophesy to those who prophesy; they shall not prophesy unto them: for their shame shall not depart.
7 - O ye that are called the house of Jacob, hath the Spirit of the LORD shortened? Are these your works? And is it not so that my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 - But my people arose yesterday as an enemy; from the garment you took off the cloak of those who passed safely, like men coming back from the war.
9 - Thou hast cast out the women of my people out of the house of their delight; from your children you have taken away my glory forever.
10 - Arise, and go; for this is no place of rest; because of the filth that bringeth destruction, yea, utter destruction.
11 - And if any man walk in the spirit of falsehood, and lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee wine and strong drink; shall be such a prophet of this people.
12 - I will certainly gather thee together, O Jacob; surely I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them all together like the sheep of Bozrah; like the flock in the midst of their pasture, shall make a noise because of the multitude of men.
13 - And he shall go up before them, and he shall open the way; they shall break, and shall enter through the gate, and shall go out for it; and the king shall go before them, and the LORD shall stand before them.
