Berean Standard Bible
Woe to them
that
devise iniquity and work
evil upon
their beds! when
the
morning
is
light ,
they practise
it ,
because it
is
in
the power of
their hand
.
Woe to those
who
devise iniquity and plot
evil on
their beds! At
morning’s
light they accomplish
it because the power is
in
their hands
.
And
they covet fields ,
and seize them; and
houses,
and
take them
away :
and
they oppress
a man and
his house
, even
a man and
his heritage
.
They covet fields and seize them; they
take away houses.
They deprive
a man of
his home
, a fellow
man of
his inheritance
.
Therefore thus
saith
Jehovah
: Behold,
against this family
do
I
devise
an
evil,
from which ye
shall
not
remove
your necks ,
neither
shall
ye
walk haughtily;
for it is
an
evil
time.
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
.
In that day shall
they take up a parable
against you ,
and lament
with a
doleful
lamentation ,
`and'
say,
We are utterly ruined :
he changeth
the portion of my people :
how doth
he remove
`
it '
from me! to
the
rebellious
he divideth
our fields.
In that day they will
take up a proverb
against you and taunt
you
with this
bitter
lamentation :
‘
We are utterly ruined !
He has
changed
the portion of my people .
How He has
removed
it from me! He has
allotted
our fields to
traitors
. ’”
Therefore thou
shalt
have none
that
shall
cast
the
line
by
lot
in the assembly of Jehovah
.
Therefore ,
you
will
have no
one
in the assembly of the
LORD
to
divide
the
land
by
lot
.
Prophesy
ye
not, `thus'
they prophesy
. They
shall
not prophesy
to
these :
reproaches
shall
not depart
.
“Do
not preach
, ”
they preach
. “Do
not preach
these things;
disgrace
will
not overtake
us
. ”
Shall
it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah
straitened
? are these his
doings
? Do not my words do
good to him that
walketh
uprightly?
Should
it be said, O house of Jacob, “
Is the Spirit of the
LORD
impatient
? Are these the
things
He
does
? ”
Do not My words bring
good to him who
walks
uprightly?
But of late my people is
risen up as
an enemy: ye
strip the
robe
from
off the garment
from them
that
pass
by
securely
`as
men '
averse
from war
.
But of late My people have
risen up like
an enemy: You
strip off the splendid
robe
from unsuspecting
passersby
like
men returning
from battle
.
The women of my people ye
cast
out
from their pleasant houses;
from
their
young
children
ye
take away my glory
for
ever
.
You
drive
the women of My people from their pleasant homes.
You
take away My blessing
from
their
children
forever
.
Arise ye,
and depart ;
for this is not your resting-
place ;
because
of uncleanness
that
destroyeth
, even
with
a grievous destruction .
Arise and depart ,
for this is not your place of rest
, because
its
defilement
brings
destruction—
a grievous destruction !
If a man walking
in
a
spirit
of falsehood
do
lie,
`saying'
, I will prophesy
unto
thee
of wine and of
strong drink ;
he shall
even
be the prophet
of
this people .
If a man of wind
were
to
come
and
say
falsely
, “
I will preach
to
you
of wine and strong drink ,”
he would
be just
the preacher
for
this people !
I will surely assemble
, O Jacob ,
all
of
thee
; I will surely
gather
the remnant of Israel ;
I will put
them together as
the
sheep of
Bozrah
, as
a flock in the midst of their
pasture ;
they
shall
make
great
noise
by
reason
of
`the
multitude
of'
men
.
I will surely gather
all
of
you
, O Jacob; I will collect
the remnant of Israel .
I will bring
them together like
sheep in
a
pen
, like
a flock in the midst of its
pasture —
a
noisy
throng
.
The breaker
is
gone
up before them :
they have
broken
forth
and
passed
on
to
the gate, and are
gone
out thereat;
and
their king is
passed
on
before them, and
Jehovah
at
the head
of
them
.
One
who
breaks
open
the way
will
go
up before them ;
they will
break
through
the gate, and go
out by
it.
Their King will
pass
through
before them, the LORD
as
their
leader
.
