Micah 2:3-5

New International Reader's Version

“I am planning to send trouble on you.
    You will not be able to save yourselves from it.
You will not live so proudly anymore.
    It will be a time of trouble.
⁴ At that time people will make fun of you.
    They will tease you by singing a song of sadness.
    They will pretend to be you and say,
‘We are totally destroyed.
    Our enemies have divided up our land.
The Lord has taken it away from us!
    He has given our fields to those
    who turned against us.’ ”

⁵ So you won’t even have anyone left
    in the Lord’s community
    who can divide up the land for you.
