Micah 2:1-2

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Social Evils Denounced

2 Alas for those who devise wickedness
    and evil deeds^[a] on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in their power.
²They covet fields, and seize them;
    houses, and take them away;
they oppress householder and house,
    people and their inheritance.
