2:1 禍哉，那些在床上圖謀罪孽、造作奸惡的！天一發亮，因手有能力就行出來了。
2:2 他們貪圖田地就佔據，貪圖房屋便奪取；他們欺壓人，霸佔房屋和產業。
2:3 所以耶和華如此說：我籌劃災禍降與這族；這禍在你們的頸項上不能解脫；你們也不能昂首而行，因為這時勢是惡的。
2:4 到那日，必有人向你們提起悲慘的哀歌，譏刺說：我們全然敗落了！耶和華將我們的分轉歸別人，何竟使這分離開我們？他將我們的田地分給悖逆的人。
2:5 所以在耶和華的會中，你必沒有人拈鬮拉準繩。
Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
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,
and you shall not walk haughtily,
for
it will be a time of disaster.
In that day they shall take up a taunt song
against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, "We are utterly ruined;
he
changes the portion of my people;
how
he removes it from me!
To
an apostate he allots our fields."
Therefore you will have none to cast the
line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.

上帝對於不公義的族群是心中憤怒，必定降災在他們當中。這也讓我們看見：富有人他的子孫不一定富有，窮苦人的小孩也不是永遠窮苦！上帝有祂的作為，使上帝的公義彰顯。
也因為如此，窮苦人的家庭，不要自卑；富有人的家庭，也不要自傲！所行的一切，要在上帝的引導中，不要妄想別人的田產，一切要遵照上帝的公義來生活行事。
彌迦先知所要強調的的就是要行公義、好憐憫，與上帝同行！
