"You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes. You defraud their children of their prized inheritance."
— Micah 2:9, NET Bible
“The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.”
“The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever. ”
“You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.”
“You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise forever from their children.”
“The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.”
“The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.”
‘Don’t preach with such impassioned rhetoric,’ they say excitedly.‘These prophets should not preach of such things; we will not be overtaken by humiliation.’
Does the family of Jacob say,‘The LORD’s patience can’t be exhausted– he would never do such things’? To be sure, my commands bring a reward for those who obey them,
but you rise up as an enemy against my people. You steal a robe from a friend, from those who pass by peacefully as if returning from a war.
You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes. You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.
But you are the ones who will be forced to leave! For this land is not secure! Sin will thoroughly destroy it!
If a lying windbag should come and say,‘I’ll promise you blessings of wine and beer,’ he would be just the right preacher for these people!
The Lord Will Restore His People I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob, I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the middle of a pasture; they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise.
