Micah 2:3 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster against this people,

from which you cannot save yourselves.

You will no longer walk proudly,

for it will be a time of calamity.

3Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“Behold, I am planning against this family a catastrophe

From which you cannot remove your necks;

And you will not walk haughtily,

For it will be an evil time.

3Therefore thus says the Lord,

“Behold, I am planning against this family a calamity

From which you cannot remove your necks;

And you will not walk haughtily,

For it will be an evil time.

3Therefore, thus says the Lord,

“Behold, I am planning against this family a disaster (exile)

[Like a noose] from which you cannot remove your necks;

Nor will you be able to walk haughtily and erect,

For it will be an evil time [of subjugation to the invaders].

3 Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“I am planning against this nation a disaster

from which you cannot free your necks.

Then you will not walk so proudly,

for it will be a time of calamity.

3So the Lord says to them,

“I am planning to send trouble on you.

You will not be able to save yourselves from it.

You will not live so proudly anymore.

It will be a time of trouble.
