* Woe unto those that devise iniquity and fabricate evil upon their beds ! when the morning is light , they put it into effect because they have power in their hands . * And they coveted fields and stole them , and houses and took [them ] away ; so they oppressed the man and his house , even the man and his heritage . * Therefore thus hath the LORD said ; Behold , I devise an evil against this family , from which ye shall not remove your necks ; neither shall ye walk haughtily ; for the time shall be evil . * In that time shall [one ] take up a saying against you and lament with a doleful lamentation [and ] say , We have been utterly destroyed ; he has changed the portion of my people ; how has he taken our fields ! He has given and [divided our fields unto others ]. * Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD . * Do not prophesy , [they say to ] those that prophesy : Do not prophesy unto them [that ] they are to understand shame . * O [thou that ] calls thyself the house of Jacob , is the spirit of the LORD shortened ? [are ] these his doings ? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly ? * He who yesterday [was ] my people is risen up as an enemy ; ye pull off the robe with the garment from those that pass by as those who return from war . * Ye have cast the women of my people out from their pleasant houses ; from their children ye have taken away my continual praise . * Arise and depart , for this [is ] not [your ] rest because it is polluted ; it has become corrupted and with a great corruption . * If there is one walking in the spirit of falsehood , he shall lie , [saying ], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink ; he shall even be the prophet of this people . * I will surely assemble , O Jacob , all of thee ; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel ; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah as [the ] flock in the midst of their fold ; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of ] men . * [The ] breaker shall go up before them ; they shall break through and pass through the gate and go out by it ; and their king shall pass before them , the LORD at the head of them .:
