(Mic 2:3) Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time {is} evil.
(Mic 2:4) In that day shall {one} take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, {and} say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed {it} from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
(Mic 2:5) Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
(Mic 2:6) Prophesy ye not, {say they to them that} prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, {that} they shall not take shame.
(Mic 2:7) O {thou that art} named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? {are} these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
(Mic 2:8) Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

(Mic 2:12) I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of {the multitude of} men.
(Mic 2:13) The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.
