Micah 2:1

Woe To The Oppressors Of God's People

¹ Woe (judgment is coming) to those who devise wickedness
And plot evil on their beds!
When morning comes, they practice evil
Because it is in the power of their hands.
²
They covet fields and seize them,
And houses, and take them away.
They oppress and rob a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.

As Good as Dead

In the Light

It is I

Woe to Those

Woe Unto Them
