WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquity,H205 and workH6466 evilH7451 on their beds!H4904 when the morningH1242 is light,H216 they practiceH6213 it, becauseH3588 it is in the powerH410 of their hand.H3027
2
And they covetH2530 fields,H7704 and takeH5375 them by violence;H1497 and houses,H1004 and takeH5375 them away:H7726 so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his house,H1004 even a manH376 and his heritage.H5159
3
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 Behold,H2005 againstH5921 thisH2063 familyH4940 do I deviseH2803 an evil,H7451 from whichH834 you shall not removeH4185 your necks;H6677 neitherH3808 shall you goH3212 haughtily:H7317 for thisH1931 timeH6256 is evil.H7451
4
In that dayH3117 shall one takeH5375 up a parableH4912 againstH5921 you, and lamentH5091 with a dolefulH5093 lamentation,H5092 and say,H559 We be utterlyH7703 spoiled:H7703 he has changedH4171 the portionH2506 of my people:H5971 howH349 has he removedH4185 it from me! turningH7725 away he has dividedH2505 our fields.H7704
5
ThereforeH3651 you shall haveH1961 noneH3808 that shall castH7993 a cordH2256 by lotH1486 in the congregationH6951 of the LORD.H3068
6
ProphesyH5197 you not, say they to them that prophesy:H5197 they shall not prophesyH5197 to them, that they shall not takeH5253 shame.H3639
7
O you that are namedH559 the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 is the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 straitened?H7114 are theseH428 his doings?H4611 do not my wordsH1697 do goodH3190 to him that walksH1980 uprightly?H3477
8
Even of lateH865 my peopleH5971 is risenH6965 up as an enemy:H341 you pullH6584 off the robeH145 with the garmentH8008 from them that passH5674 by securelyH983 as men averseH7725 from war.H4421
9
The womenH802 of my peopleH5971 have you castH1644 out from their pleasantH8588 houses;H1004 from their childrenH5768 have you takenH3947 away my gloryH1926 for ever.H5769
10
AriseH6965 you, and depart;H3212 for thisH2063 is not your rest:H4496 becauseH5668 it is polluted,H2930 it shall destroyH2254 you, even with a soreH4834 destruction.H2256
11
IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in the spiritH7307 and falsehoodH8267 do lie,H3576 saying, I will prophesyH5197 to you of wineH3196 and of strongH7941 drink;H7941 he shall even be the prophetH5197 of thisH2088 people.H5971
12
I will surely assemble,H622 O Jacob,H3290 allH3605 of you; I will surely gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of Israel;H3478 I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of Bozrah,H1224 as the flockH5739 in the middleH8432 of their fold:H1699 they shall make great noiseH1949 by reason of the multitude of men.H120
13
The breakerH6555 is comeH5927 up beforeH6440 them: they have brokenH6555 up, and have passedH5674 through the gate,H8179 and are goneH3318 out by it: and their kingH4428 shall passH5674 beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 on the headH7218 of them.
