Micah 2:2-4

New Century Version

²They want fields, so they take them;
they want houses, so they take them away.
They cheat people to get their houses;
they rob them even of their property.

³That is why the Lord says:

“Look, I am planning trouble against such people,
    and you won’t be able to save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
    because it will be a terrible time.
⁴At that time people will make fun of you
    and sing this sad song about you:
‘We are completely ruined;
    the Lord has taken away my people’s land.
Yes, he has taken it away from me
    and divided our fields among our enemies!’”
