Micah 2:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. How terrible it will be for those who plan to harm others! How terrible for those who make evil plans before they even get out of bed! As soon as daylight comes, they carry them out. That's because they have the power to do it.

2. If they want fields or houses, they take them. They cheat men out of their homes and property.

3. So the Lord says to them, "I am planning to send trouble on you. You will not be able to save yourselves from it. You will not live so proudly anymore. It will be a time of trouble.
