Micah 2:4 Context
2And they couet fields and take them by violence: and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, euen a man and his heritage. 3Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, against this familie doe I deuise an euill, from which ye shall not remoue your necks, neither shall ye goe haughtily: for this time is euill. 4¶ In that day shall one take vp a parable against you, and lament with a dolefull lamentation, and say, We be vtterly spoiled: hee hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he remoued it from me? turning away hee hath diuided our fields. 5Therefore thou shalt haue none that shall cast a cord by lot in the Congregation of the Lord. 6Prophecie ye not, say they, to them that prophecie: they shall not prophecie to them, that they shall not take shame.
