4 "On that day they will take up against you a taunt And utter a bitter lamentation and say, 'We are completely destroyed! He exchanges the portion of my people; How He removes it from me! To the apostate He apportions our fields.'
5 "Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD .
