Micah 2:3-5
Good News Translation
3 And so the Lord says, “I am planning to bring disaster on you, and you will not be able to escape it. You are going to find yourselves in trouble, and then you will not walk so proudly any more. 4 When that time comes, people will use the story about you as an example of disaster, and they will sing this song of despair about your experience:
We are completely ruined!
The Lord has taken our land away
And given it to those who took us captive.”[a]
5 So then, when the time comes for the land to be given back to the Lord's people, there will be no share for any of you.

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.’”
