Micah 2:4

Woe To The Oppressors Of God's People

³ Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time. ⁴ In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious. ⁵ Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
