Reading for October 7th

Read Micah 2.1-5 Judgment for economic crimes.
The theme of this speech is the exploitation of the poor by the rich.
In verses 1-2 the indictment blames the wealthy for seizing fields unfairly,
including the ancestral inheritance which was not to leave a family's possession.
In verses 3-5 the sentence imposes a punishment that suits the crime:
The wealthy will lose their own fields and others will divide them among themselves.
