| Micah 2:1 | A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:2 | They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:3 | For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:4 | In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:5 | For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord. | | Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. |
| Micah 2:6 | Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob! | | Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. |
| Micah 2:7 | Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel? | | 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? |
| Micah 2:8 | As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:9 | The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever. | | The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. |
| Micah 2:10 | Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you. | | Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. |
| Micah 2:11 | If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:12 | I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men. | | 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. |
| Micah 2:13 | The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head. | | 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. |
