Micah 2:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ But here is what the Lord says:
“I am planning trouble for you.
Your necks will be caught
    in a noose,
and you will be disgraced
    in this time of disaster.”

⁴ When that happens,
this sorrowful song
    will be sung about you:
“Ruined! Completely ruined!
The Lord has taken our land
    and given it to traitors.”^[a]
5 And so you will never again
own property
    among the Lord's people.
