11. I wish that I were not a man who has breath, and that I rather spoke a lie. I will drop it down to you in wine and in drunkenness. And it will be this people on whom it will rain down.

Verse im Zusammenhang mit Micah, 2:

Micah 2 is a chapter that denounces the injustice and oppression of the leaders and rulers of Judah and Israel. The prophet accuses these authorities of accumulating riches and goods at the expense of the people and of oppressing the poor and needy. Below are five verses related to these themes:

Isaiah 10:1-2: "Woe to those who decree unfair laws, those who write oppressive laws to deprive the poor of their rights and steal from the needy of my people, making widows their prey and orphans their easy prey!" This verse is a condemnation of those who create unfair laws that favor the rich and powerful over the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 22:29: "The people of the earth have used oppression, committed theft and oppressed the poor and needy, mistreating the stranger without justice." This verse shows how oppression and injustice were common practices in Ezekiel's time and how it displeased God.

Isaiah 3:14-15: "The Lord goes into judgment, and places himself to judge the elders of his people and their leaders. You have destroyed the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your homes." This verse portrays God's action against those who exploit the people and destroy their economy.

Proverbs 14:31: "He who oppresses the poor insults him who created him, but who has compassion for the poor honor him." This verse highlights the importance of treating people with justice and compassion as a way of honoring God.

Amós 8:4-6: "Listen to this, you who tread the poor and destroy the needy from the land, saying: When will the new moon go so we can sell wheat, and the Saturday so that we can offer wheat for sale? Measure, we will increase the price, and we will use fake scales to deceive. " This verse exposes the greed and exploitation of the rich in relation to the poor and shows how this is abominable before God.
