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
.
Woe to those who devise iniquity And work
evil on their beds! When
the

is

of
their hand

They covet fields and seize them; they
take away houses.
They deprive
a man of
his home
, a fellow
man of
his inheritance
.
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
.
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
.
Therefore thus
says Yahweh
: "Behold,
I am planning against these
people
a disaster ,
From which you will
not
remove
your necks ,
Neither
will you
walk haughtily;
For it is
an
evil
time.
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 .’”
In that day they will take up a parable
against you ,
And lament
with a
doleful
lamentation ,
saying,
'
We are utterly ruined! My people's
possession
is
divided
up
. Indeed
he takes
it from me and
assigns
our fields to traitors !'"
Therefore ,
you will have no one in
the
assembly
of
the
LORD
to
divide
the land by lot.
Therefore you will have no one who
divides
the land by lot in
the
assembly
of
Yahweh
.
“Do
not
preach,”

. “Do
not
preach
these things ;

not
overtake us. ”

you
prophesy!"
They prophesy
. "Don't
prophesy
about
these things .
Disgrace won't
overtake us. "
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
?
Shall
it be said, O house of Jacob :
"
Is the Spirit of Yahweh
angry
? Are these his
doings
? Don't
my words do
good to him who walks blamelessly
? "
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.
But lately
my people have risen up as
an enemy .
You strip the robe and
clothing
from those
who
pass
by
without
a
care,
returning from battle.
You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes.
You take away My blessing from
their
children
forever.

from their pleasant houses;
From
their
young
children
you take away my blessing forever.
Arise and depart ,
for this is not your place of
rest
, because its
defilement
brings
destruction—
a grievous destruction !

place, Because of
uncleanness
that
destroys,
Even
with
a grievous destruction .
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 !
If a man walking
in
a
spirit
of falsehood
lies:
'
I will prophesy
to you of wine and of
strong drink ;'
He would be the prophet
of
this people .
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
.
I will surely assemble,
Jacob,
all of you; 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
will
swarm
with
people
.
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
.
He
who breaks open the way goes
up before them .
They break through the gate, and go out. And
their king passes
on
before them, With
Yahweh
at
their head
. "
