OET (OET-RV) Woe to those who plan to do wicked things—
⇔ to those who do evil on their beds.
⇔ They do it in the morning light
⇔ because they make use of their power.
Micah speaks against the leaders in Israel who are taking advantage of the poor and not following God’s commands.
2:1-2 Power had corrupted the wealthy, who should have been ready to help their fellow Israelites (cp. Gen 4:9; Josh 1:14).
• Thinking up evil plans . . . because you have the power to do so indicates a corrupt heart, mind, and character (Gen 6:5).
• When you want: They possessed the property of others in a way that amounted to stealing and broke God’s law that forbids coveting (Exod 20:17). A family’s inheritance was a sacred gift from the Lord, intended as a permanent possession (Lev 25:8-55; cp. 1 Kgs 21; Isa 5:8). God looked for righteousness among his people, but instead he found oppression (1 Kgs 10:9; Isa 5:7; 2 Pet 2:13).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
