Micah 2 from Scroll 4Q82 Minor Prophets^g

 3 Therefore Yahweh says:

“Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,

from which you will not remove you’re their necks,

neither will you walk haughtily;

for it is an evil time.

4 In 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!’ ”

 

Micah 2 from Scroll Nahal Hever Greek Minor Prophets

7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:

“Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?

Are these his doings?

Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

8 But 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.

 

Micah 2 from Scroll Wadi Muraba’at Minor Prophets

¹ Woe to those who devise iniquity

and work evil on their beds!

When the morning is light, they practice it,

because it is in the power of their hand.

² They covet fields, and seize them;

and houses, and take them away:

and they oppress a man and his house,

even a man and his heritage.

³ Therefore Yahweh 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.

⁴ In 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!’ ”

⁵ Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.

⁶ “Don’t prophesy!”

They prophesy.

“Don’t prophesy about these things.

Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

⁷ Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:

“Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?

Are these his doings?

Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

⁸ But 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.

⁹ You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;

from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

¹⁰ Arise, and depart!

For this is not your resting place,

because of uncleanness that destroys,

even with a grievous destruction.

¹¹ If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies:

“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;”

he would be the prophet of this people.

¹² I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you;

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.

¹³ He who breaks open the way goes up before them.

They break through the gate, and go out.

And their king passes on before them,

with Yahweh at their head.
