Micah 2

^{1 !} Threatings against the wanton & deintie people.

^{1 a} Assone as they rsie they execute their wicked deuises of the night, and according to their power hurt others.

^{1 /} Ebr., is so power.

^{4 b} Thus the Jewes lament and say that theire is not hope of restitution seing their possessions are diuided among the enemies.

^{5 c} Ye shah haue no more lands to diuide, as you had in times past, and as you vsed to measure them in the Jubile

^{6 e} God saith, that they shal not prophecie, nor receiue no more of their rebukes nor tantes.

^{6 !} They wolde teache the Prophetes to preache.

^{6 d} Thus the people warne the Prophetes that they speake to them no more: for they can not abide their threatenings.

^{7 f} Are these your workes according to his Law?

^{7 g} No not the godlie finde my wordes comfortable?

^{8 h} That is, aforetime.

^{8 i} The poore can haue no commoditie by them, but they spoyle them, as thogh they were enemies.

^{9 k} That is, their substance, and liuing, which is Gods blessing, and as it were, parte of his glorie.

^{10 l} Jerusalem shal not be your saue garde: but the cause of your destruction.

^{11 m} That is, shewe himself to be a Prophet.

^{11 n} He sheweth what Prophetes they delite in: that is, in flatteres, which tel them pleasant tales, & speake of their commodities.

^{12 o} To destroye thee.

^{13 p} The enemie shal breake their gates, and walles, and lead them in to Caldea.

^{13 q} To driue them forward and to helpe their enemies.
