Micah 2:1-4

With so much chaos in this world and so much covert manipulation in governments only our trust in God is secure. When we see wars and natural disasters surrounding us...rejoice He is near!

These wicked individuals lay on their beds at night thinking of evil plots. They cannot sleep because they are consumed with wickedness. These evildoers were powerful, wealthy people with the ability to carry out their schemes and profit by them. The mistreatment of others has given these evildoers the impression that they are better than those upon whom they prey. Faithlife Bible.

God would take the property rights from those who had seized them illegally and give them to people who were even more reprobate than they were. NKJ Bible.

Micah 2:1–4 (NKJV): 
Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their bed! !At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand.They covet fields and take them by violence, Also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, A man and his inheritance.Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying: ‘We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; How He has removed it from me! To a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”

Ps 36:4
He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil.

Is 5:8
Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field,Till there is no place where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!

Je 8:3
Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of hosts.

Am 5:13
Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.

Hab 2:6

“Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say,‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’?
