* 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 . * And they covet fields , and take them by violence ; and houses , and take them away ; and they oppress a man and his house , even a man and his heritage . * Therefore thus saith Jehovah : Behold , against this family do I devise an evil , from which ye shall not remove your necks ; neither shall ye walk haughtily : for it is an evil time . * In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you , and lament with a doleful lamentation , [and ] say , We are utterly spoiled : he hath changed the portion of my people : how hath he removed it from me ! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious . * Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot , in the congregation of Jehovah .
