MichahChapter 2
Oppressors Fall, the Breaker Goes Before
'I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel' — the promise Yeshua fulfills as the Good Shepherd seeking and gathering every scattered lamb into His care.
- Woe to Those Who Plot Evil
Woe to those who plot evil on their beds and carry it out at dawn. Elohim sees the scheming heart.
- 1Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
- 2They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
- 3Therefore YHWH says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
- 4In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
- 5Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in YHWH’s assembly.
- 6“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
- 7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is YHWH’s Ruach angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
- 8But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
- 9You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
- 10Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
- 11If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
- The Remnant Gathered Like Sheep
Like a shepherd gathering sheep, Elohim will assemble the remnant. Even in judgement, mercy gathers.
- 12I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
- 13He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with YHWH at their head.
