Micah 2:3 in Context — Micah 2

1 Ai dos que planejam injustiça, e dos que tramam o mal em suas camas! Quando vem a manhã o efetuam, porque têm o poder em suas mãos.

2 E cobiçam campos, e os roubam; cobiçam casas, e as tomam; oprimem ao homem e a sua casa, ao homem e a sua propriedade.

3 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu planejo um mal contra esta família, da qual não conseguireis livrar vossos pescoços, nem andareis erguidos; porque o tempo será mau.

4 Naquele tempo surgirá um provérbio sobre vós, e se lamentará um pranto de lamentação, dizendo: Fomos arruinados por completo; trocada foi a porção de meu povo. Como fomos saqueados! Nossos campos foram repartidos, passados a outros.

5 Portanto a ninguém terás que delimite a propriedade de terra por meio de sortes na congregação do SENHOR.
