By the light of the morning they proceed to do it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they have desired fields and have seized [them]; also houses, and have taken [them]; and they have defrauded an able-bodied man and his household, a man and his hereditary possession. 3 “Therefore this is what Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am thinking up against this family a calamity from which YOU people will not remove YOUR necks, so that YOU will not walk haughtily; because it is a time of calamity. 4 In that day one will raise up concerning YOU people a proverbial saying and will certainly lament a lamentation, even a lamentation. One will have to say: “We have positively been despoiled! The very portion of my people he alters. How he removes [it] from me! To the unfaithful one he apportions out our own fields.” 5 Therefore you will come to have no one casting out the cord, by lot, in the congregation of Jehovah. 6 Do not YOU people let [words] drop. They let [words] drop. They will not let [words] drop concerning these [things]. Humiliations will not move away. (New world translation is above^^^^^)when in other translations most read this way:Mic 2:1  Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. Mic 2:2  And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Mic 2:3  Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time. Mic 2:4  In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove it from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields. Mic 2:5  Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah. Mic 2:6  Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart. American standard versionDoes not the difference in the translations change the meaning of how one would understand it?</blockquote>
