Micah 2:3

God is planning trouble for the ‘family’. That means all the people in *Israel. Some people *sin. But the whole family suffers. The leaders especially are guilty. The army from Assyria will bring trouble. The enemy will put the people’s necks in a trap. They will squeeze the people’s necks in a lock. They cannot remove their necks from it. They cannot save themselves. They will not be proud people any longer. Micah’s strong words will not help them. Only God can deal with them so that they will not be proud. These rich people have brought trouble to the poor people. So God will send the *Assyrians to do the same thing to the rich people. God will deal with these proud, rich people.

v4 Then people will sing songs about you. People will sing this sad song. ‘He has ruined us completely! He took away our land. He gave it to other people. Yes, he took my land away from me. The *LORD has divided our fields. He has divided them among our enemies.’
