Bible in Basic English
"A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power."
— Micah 2:1, Bible in Basic English
A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
