Micah 2:3 in Context — Micah 2
1 Malheur à ceux qui méditent l’iniquité et qui forgent le mal Sur leur couche! Au point du jour ils l’exécutent, Quand ils ont le pouvoir en main.
2 Ils convoitent des champs, et ils s’en emparent, Des maisons, et ils les enlèvent; Ils portent leur violence sur l’homme et sur sa maison, Sur l’homme et sur son héritage.
3 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, je médite contre cette race un malheur; Vous n’en préserverez pas vos cous, Et vous ne marcherez pas la tête levée, Car ces temps seront mauvais.
4 En ce jour-là, on fera de vous un sujet de sarcasme, On poussera des cris lamentables, On dira: Nous sommes entièrement dévastés! Il donne à d’autres la part de mon peuple! Eh quoi! Il me l’enlève! Il distribue nos champs à l’ennemi!…
5 C’est pourquoi tu n’auras personne Qui étende le cordeau sur un lot, Dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel.
