Micah 2:4

Woe To The Oppressors Of God's People

³ Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise a disaster, from which you shall not remove your necks; neither shall you walk haughtily: for this time is evil. ⁴  In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined: he has changed the portion of my people: how he has removed it from me! turning away he has divided our fields. ⁵ Therefore you shall have none that shall determine boundaries by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
