Micah 2:2
World English Bible (WEB)
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
In context
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
