Micah 2:1-3

New International Reader's Version

2 How terrible it will be for those
    who plan to harm others!
How terrible for those who make evil plans
    before they even get out of bed!
As soon as daylight comes,
    they carry out their plans.
    That’s because they have the power to do it.
² If they want fields or houses,
    they take them.
They cheat people out of their homes.
    They rob them of their property.
