Micah 2:4

Woe To The Oppressors Of God's People

³ For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time. ⁴ In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us. ⁵ For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
