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.

Micah 2:3-5
New International Version
3 Therefore, the Lord says:
“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(B)
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;(C)
my people’s possession is divided up.(D)
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
