Woe to Oppressors

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:1 -

Woe to those who devise wrongdoing,

Who practice evil on their beds!

[fn]When morning comes, they do it,

Because it is in the power of their hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:2 -

They covet fields, so they seize them;

And houses, so they take them.

They [fn]exploit a man and his house,

A person and his inheritance.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:3 -

Therefore this is what the LORD says:

“Behold, I am planning against this family a catastrophe

From which you cannot remove your necks;

And you will not walk haughtily,

For it will be an evil time.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:4 -

“On that day they will take up against you a [fn]song of mocking

And [fn]utter a song of mourning and say,

‘We are completely destroyed!

He exchanges the share of my people;

How He removes it from me!

To the apostate He apportions our fields.’

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:5 -

“Therefore you will have no one [fn]applying a measuring line

For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:6 -

But if [fn]they do not prophesy about these things,

Insults will not be turned back.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:7 -

“Is it being said, house of Jacob:

‘Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient?

Are these His works?’

Do My words not do good

For the one walking rightly?

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:8 -

[fn]Recently My people have arisen as an enemy

You strip the robe off the garment

From unsuspecting passers-by,

From those returned from war.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:9 -

“You evict the women of My people,

Each one from her pleasant house.

From her children you take My splendor forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:10 -

“Arise and go,

For this is no place of rest

Because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction,

A painful destruction.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:11 -

“If someone walking after wind and falsehood

Had lied and said,

‘I will prophesy to you about wine and liquor,’

He would become a prophet to this people.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:12 -

“I will certainly assemble all of you, Jacob,

I will certainly gather the remnant of Israel.

I will put them together like sheep in the fold;

Like a flock in the midst of its pasture

They will be noisy with people.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:13 -

“The one who breaks through goes up before them;

They break through, pass through the gate, and go out by it.

So their king passes on before them,

And the LORD at their head.”
