Those Who Make Wicked Plans |
Micah 2:1-13 The Book of Micah [in Smaller Chunks] |
Woe to [those, who] devise [sinful plots,] & [plan] [what is:] evil, upon their beds! [In] the morning light, when they practice it, [a.k.a. carry it out,] because it is [within] the [control] of their hand. And they [envy] fields, & [seize] them & houses [through] violence & take them away. |
So, they oppress a man & his house, even a man & his heritage. [Jeremiah 22:13-17 Woe to him, [who] builds his house [through] unrighteousness, & his [rooms through] [doing what is:] wrong. [Who] uses his neighbor's service without wages, & [doesn't] give him [money] for his work. |
[Who] says, I will build [myself] a wide house & large [rooms,] & cuts [himself] out windows, & it's [paneled] with cedar, & painted with vermilion, [a.k.a. red.] The Lord says, Shall you [rule,] because you [enclose] yourself in cedar? |
Didn't your [forefather] eat, drink, & [carry out] judgment & justice, & [all] was well [for] him then? He judged the [case] of the poor & needy, & then it was well [for] him. Wasn't this to know Me? But your eyes, & your heart aren't [focused on Me,] but [only] for [what] you [envy] & for [shedding] [the] blood [of the] innocent, & for oppression, & [doing] violence.] |
Therefore, The Lord says [this; See,] I [devised a disaster] against this family, from which, you shall not remove your necks. Neither shall you [follow arrogantly,] for this is [an] evil time. [Amos 8:3 And the temple songs shall be [wailing on] that day, says the Lord God. There shall be many dead bodies in everyplace & with silence, they shall [throw] them [out.] |
[On] that day, [someone] shall take up a [proverb] against you, & [mourn] with [bitter grieving] & say, We [are totally plundered.] He has changed the portion of my people. |
[Psalm 16:4-5 Their sorrows, [of those, who hurry] after another god, shall be multiplied. I won't offer their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names [to] my lips. The Lord is the portion of [my] inheritance, & my cup. You [uphold] my lot.] |
How He has removed it from me! He [has turned] away & divided our fields. Therefore, you shall have [no one who] shall cast [a measuring line upon a plot] in the congregation of the Lord. [Don't] you prophesy & say to [those of] them, [who] prophesy: They shall not prophesy to them, [so] they [won't be ashamed.] |
[Isaiah 30:8-11 Now go, & write it [in front of] them in a [tablet,] & note it in a book, [so] that it may be for the time to come, forever & ever. That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children [who] won't hear the Law of the Lord. |
[Who] say to the Seers, [Don't] see. And to the prophets, [Don't] prophesy to us [righteous] things, & speak to us [only] [pleasant] things, & prophesy [what is:] [deceitful.] Get [yourselves] out of the [road,] & turn aside, [a.k.a. go astray] out of the path & cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.] |
O you, [who] are named the house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] is the Spirit of the Lord is straitened, [a.k.a. reduced?] [Isaiah 59:1 [Look,] the Lord's hand isn't shortened, that it can't save. Neither [is] His ear [made] heavy that it can't hear.] |
Are these His [actions?] Don't My Words do good to [those, who follow righteously?] Even [lately,] My people [have] risen up [like] an enemy. You [who walk] by securely, [take] off the robe & the garment, [like] men [who have an aversion to] war [take off their war garments.] |
[Exodus 28:2-3 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron, your brother, for glory & beauty. And you shall speak to all, [who] are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, [so] that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, [so] that he may minister to Me in the priest's [position.] |
You have cast out the women of My people, from their pleasant houses; & from their children, & you have taken away My glory forever. You, arise & [leave;] for this isn't your [place to] rest: because it is [defiled] & I shall destroy you, even with a [severe] destruction. |
If a man [follows] in the spirit, & [lies falsey,] saying, I will prophesy to you [about:] wine & strong drink. He shall even be the prophet of this people. O Jacob, I will surely: assemble all of you & gather the [rest] of Israel. |
I will put them [all] together, [like] the sheep of Bozrah, & [like] the flock in the midst of their [pen.] They shall make [loud] noise, [because] of the multitude of men. |
[Jeremiah 31:10-11 O you nations, hear the Word of the Lord & declare it in the [coastal islands far away,] & say, He, [Who] scatters Israel, will gather [them] & keep [them, like] a shepherd does his flock. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, & ransomed [them] from the hand of him, [who] was stronger than [them.] |
The breaker [has] come up [in front of] them. They have broken [out] & have [gone] through the gate, & have [left through] it. And their king shall pass [in front of] them, & the Lord [shall be ahead] of [all of] them. [John 10:7-11 Then, Jesus said to them again, [Very, truly] I say to you, I Am the door of the sheep. |
All, [who] ever came before Me, are thieves & robbers. But the sheep didn't hear them. I Am the Door. If any man [enters] in, he shall be saved by Me, & shall go in & out, & find pasture. |
The thief [only] [comes] to steal, to kill, & to destroy. I [have] come, [so] that they might have life & that they might have it more abundantly. I Am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep.] |
