Micah 2:2

2 They confiscate the fields they desire,
and seize the houses they want.
Heb “they desire fields and rob [them], and houses and take [them] away.”

They defraud people of their homes,
Heb “and they oppress a man and his home.”

and deprive people of the land they have inherited.
Heb “and a man and his inheritance.” The verb עָשַׁק (’ashaq, “to oppress”; “to wrong”) does double duty in the parallel structure and is understood by ellipsis in the second line.
