1 W oeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205 and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their beds!H4904 when the morningH1242 is light,H216 they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their hand.H3027
2 And they covetH2530 fields,H7704 and seizeH1497 them; and houses,H1004 and take them away:H5375 and they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his house,H1004 even a manH376 and his heritage.H5159
3 Therefore thus saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 Behold, against this familyH4940 do I deviseH2803 an evil,H7451 from which ye shall not removeH4185 your necks,H6677 neither shall ye walkH3212 haughtily;H7317 for it is an evilH7451 time.H6256
4 In that dayH3117 shall they take upH5375 a parableH4912 against you, and lamentH5091 with a dolefulH5093 lamentation,H5092 [and] say,H559 We are utterlyH7703 ruined:H7703 he changethH4171 the portionH2506 of my people:H5971 how doth he removeH4185 [it] from me! to the rebelliousH7725 he dividethH2505 our fields.H7704
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall castH7993 the lineH2256 by lotH1486 in the assemblyH6951 of Jehovah.H3068
6 ProphesyH5197 ye not, [thus] they prophesy.H5197 They shall not prophesyH5197 to these: reproachesH3639 shall not depart.H5253
7 Shall it be said,H559 O houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 Is the SpiritH7307 of JehovahH3068 straitened?H7114 are these his doings?H4611 Do not my wordsH1697 do goodH3190 to him that walkethH1980 uprightly?H3477
8 But of lateH865 my peopleH5971 is risen upH6965 as an enemy:H341 ye stripH6584 the robeH145 from offH4136 the garmentH8008 from them that passH5674 by securelyH983 [as men] averseH7725 from war.H4421
9 The womenH802 of my peopleH5971 ye cast outH1644 from their pleasantH8588 houses;H1004 from their young childrenH5768 ye take awayH3947 my gloryH1926 for ever.H5769
10 AriseH6965 ye, and depart;H3212 for this is not your resting-place;H4496 because of uncleannessH2930 that destroyeth,H2254 even with a grievousH4834 destruction.H2254
11 IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in a spiritH7307 of falsehoodH8267 do lie,H3576 [saying], I will prophesyH5197 unto thee of wineH3196 and of strong drink;H7941 he shall even be the prophetH5197 of this people.H5971
12 I will surelyH622 assemble,H622 O Jacob,H3290 all of thee; I will surelyH6908 gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of Israel;H3478 I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of Bozrah,H1223 as a flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their pasture;H1699 they shall make great noiseH1949 by reason of [the multitude of] men.H120
13 The breakerH6555 is gone upH5927 beforeH6440 them: they have broken forthH6555 and passed onH5674 to the gate,H8179 and are gone outH3318 thereat; and their kingH4428 is passedH5674 on beforeH6440 them, and JehovahH3068 at the headH7218 of them.
