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 take
them by
violence
; and
houses,
and
take them
away :
so
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
the LORD ;
Behold,
against this family
do
I
devise
an
evil,
from which ye
shall
not
remove
your necks ;
neither
shall
ye
go
haughtily:
for this
time is
evil
.
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
one
take up a parable
against you ,
and lament
with a
doleful
lamentation ,
and
say,
We be
utterly spoiled:
he hath
changed the portion of my people :
how hath
he removed it from me! turning
away
he hath
divided
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
a
cord
by
lot
in the congregation
of the LORD.
Therefore ,
you
will
have no
one
in the assembly
of the LORD to
divide
the
land
by
lot
.
Prophesy
ye
not, say
they
to
them
that
prophesy:
they shall
not prophesy
to
them,
that
they
shall
not take
shame
.
“Do
not preach
, ”
they preach.
“Do
not preach
these
things;
disgrace
will
not overtake
us
. ”
O thou
that
art
named
the
house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD 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?
Even
of late my people is
risen up as
an enemy: ye
pull
off the robe with
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 have
ye
cast
out
from their pleasant houses;
from their children have
ye
taken
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 rest :
because
it
is
polluted
, it
shall
destroy
you,
even
with
a sore
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
the
spirit
and 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
the
flock in the midst of their
fold:
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
come
up before them :
they have
broken
up,
and
have
passed
through the gate, and are
gone
out by it :
and
their king shall
pass before them, and
the LORD on
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
.
