Micah 2:5

Woe To The Oppressors Of God's People

⁴ “On that day they will take up against you a taunt
And utter a bitter lamentation and say,
‘We are completely destroyed!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He apportions our fields.’
⁵ “Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.
⁶ ‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.
But if they do not speak out concerning these things,
Reproaches will not be turned back.
