Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil1 on their beds!2 At morning's light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.
2
They covet fields3 and seize them,4 and houses, and take them. They defraud5 a man of his home, a fellowman of his inheritance.63
Therefore, the LORD says: "I am planning disaster7 against this people, from which you cannot save yourselves. You will no longer walk proudly,8 for it will be a time of calamity.
4
In that day men will ridicule you; they will taunt you with this mournful song: 'We are utterly ruined;9 my people's possession is divided up.10 He takes it from me! He assigns our fields to traitors.' "
5
Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land11 by lot.12
