Micah 2 Text (WEB)
|
- Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
- They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
- Therefore thus says Yahweh: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
- In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined! My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'"
- Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
- "Don't prophesy!" They prophesy. "Don't prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."
- Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
- But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
- You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
- Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
- If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would be the prophet of this people.
- I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
- He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.

Micah 2 Text (Hebrew)
|
- הוי חשבי־און ופעלי רע על־משכבותם באור הבקר יעשוה כי יש־לאל ידם׃
- וחמדו שדות וגזלו ובתים ונשאו ועשקו גבר וביתו ואיש ונחלתו׃ ף
- לכן כה אמר יהוה הנני חשב על־המשפחה הזאת רעה אשר לא־תמישו משם צוארתיכם ולא תלכו רומה כי עת רעה היא׃
- ביום ההוא ישא עליכם משל ונהה נהי נהיה אמר שדוד נשדנו חלק עמי ימיר איך ימיש לי לשובב שדינו יחלק׃
- לכן לא־יהיה לך משליך חבל בגורל בקהל יהוה׃
- אל־תטפו יטיפון לא־יטפו לאלה לא יסג כלמות׃
- האמור בית־יעקב הקצר רוח יהוה אם־אלה מעלליו הלוא דברי ייטיבו עם הישר הולך׃
- ואתמול עמי לאויב יקוםם ממול שלמה אדר תפשטון מעברים בטח שובי מלחמה׃
- נשי עמי תגרשון מבית תענגיה מעל עלליה תקחו הדרי לעולם׃
- קומו ולכו כי לא־זאת המנוחה בעבור טמאה תחבל וחבל נמרץ׃
- לו־איש הלך רוח ושקר כזב אטף לך ליין ולשכר והיה מטיף העם הזה׃
- אסף אאסף יעקב כלך קבץ אקבץ שארית ישראל יחד אשימנו כצאן בצרה כעדר בתוך הדברו תהימנה מאדם׃
- עלה הפרץ לפניהם פרצו ויעברו שער ויצאו בו ויעבר מלכם לפניהם ויהוה בראשם׃ ף

Micah 2 Text (Latin)
|
- Væ qui cogitatis inutile, et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris ! In luce matutina faciunt illud, quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum.
- Et concupierunt agros, et violenter tulerunt : et rapuerunt domos, et calumniabantur virum, et domum ejus : virum, et hæreditatem ejus.
- Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego cogito super familiam istam malum, unde non auferetis colla vestra, et non ambulabitis superbi : quoniam tempus pessimum est.
- In die illa sumetur super vos parabola, et cantabitur canticum cum suavitate, dicentium : Depopulatione vastati sumus ; pars populi mei commutata est : quomodo recedet a me, cum revertatur, qui regiones nostras dividat ?
- Propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in cœtu Domini.
- Ne loquamini loquentes ; non stillabit super istos, non comprehendet confusio.
- Dicit domus Jacob : Numquid abbreviatus est spiritus Domini, aut tales sunt cogitationes ejus ? nonne verba mea bona sunt cum eo qui recte graditur ?
- et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit. Desuper tunica pallium sustulistis : et eos qui transibant simpliciter convertistis in bellum.
- Mulieres populi mei ejecistis de domo deliciarum suarum ; a parvulis earum tulistis laudem meam in perpetuum.
- Surgite, et ite, quia non habetis hic requiem : propter immunditiam ejus corrumpetur putredine pessima.
- Utinam non essem vir habens spiritum, et mendacium potius loquerer ! Stillabo tibi in vinum et in ebrietatem ; et erit super quem stillatur populus iste.
- Congregatione congregabo, Jacob, totum te ; in unum conducam reliquias Israël : pariter ponam illum quasi gregem in ovili, quasi pecus in medio caularum : tumultuabuntur a multitudine hominum.
- Ascendet enim pandens iter ante eos : divident, et transibunt portam, et ingredientur per eam : et transibit rex eorum coram eis, et Dominus in capite eorum.

Micah 2 Text (KJV)
|
- Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
- And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
- Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
- In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
- Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
- Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
- O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
- Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
- The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
- Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
- If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
- I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
- The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
