Micah 2:1-2

Micah 2:1-2. Wo to them that devise iniquity That design and frame mischief; and work evil upon their beds Contrive how to work it, and actually execute their plans when they rise in the morning. Because it is in the power of their hand Because they can do it; because there is none that can hinder them. They make their strength the law of justice; and do whatsoever they have a mind to do, whether right or wrong, because they have power in their hands. And they covet fields Set their minds upon the estates of their meaner neighbours, thinking how convenient they lie to theirs, as Ahab thought concerning the field of Naboth. And take them by violence By power wrest the estates out of the hands of the owners of them. And houses, and take them away They take both houses and lands. So they oppress a man and his house They not only do injustice to a man himself, but to his whole family also, by taking away his heritage, whereby his family, as well as himself, and his posterity after him, were to be supported.
