Mikha 2:3
Konteks2:3 Therefore the Lord says this: “Look, I am devising disaster for this nation! 1
It will be like a yoke from which you cannot free your neck. 2
You will no longer 3 walk proudly,
for it will be a time of catastrophe.
Mikha 3:11
Konteks3:11 Her 4 leaders take bribes when they decide legal cases, 5
her priests proclaim rulings for profit,
and her prophets read omens for pay.
Yet they claim to trust 6 the Lord and say,
“The Lord is among us. 7
Disaster will not overtake 8 us!”
Mikha 4:3
Konteks4:3 He will arbitrate 9 between many peoples
and settle disputes between many 10 distant nations. 11
They will beat their swords into plowshares, 12
and their spears into pruning hooks. 13
Nations will not use weapons 14 against other nations,
and they will no longer train for war.
Mikha 5:7
Konteks5:7 Those survivors from 15 Jacob will live 16
in the midst of many nations. 17
They will be like the dew the Lord sends,
like the rain on the grass,
that does not hope for men to come
or wait around for humans to arrive. 18
