Micah 2:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 They want fields; so they take them.
They want houses; so they take them.
They cheat a man and take his house.
They cheat a man and take his property.
3 That is why the Lord says:
“Look, I am planning trouble against such people.
You won’t be able to save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
because it will be a terrible time.
4 At that time people will make fun of you.
They will sing this sad song about you:
‘We are completely ruined.
The Lord has taken away our land.
Yes, he has taken our land away from us.
He has divided our fields among our enemies!’”
Micah 2:2-4
New International Version
2 They covet fields(A) and seize them,(B)
and houses, and take them.
They defraud(C) people of their homes,
they rob them of their inheritance.(D)
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(E) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(F)
for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(G)
my people’s possession is divided up.(H)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
