216. Internal Meaning of Micah, Chapter 2

1-2 Concerning thought with the intention of doing evil, that they also do it from the will. (3)

3-5 Hence the church has become perverted. (3)

6-7 There is no longer any use to teach any except those who obey; (3, 3)

8-9 therefore they do evils of every kind. (3)

10-11 They will perish, because they cannot be taught. (3)

12-13 Such things do not invade those who will be of the Lord's new church. (3)

Micah 2:3-5

Study

      

3 Therefore thus says Yahweh: "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 the assembly of Yahweh.
