* 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 : so they oppress a man and his house , even a man and his heritage . * Therefore thus saith the LORD ; Behold , against this family do I devise an evil , from which ye shall not remove your necks tsavva #r #; neither shall ye go haughtily : for this time is evil . * In that day shall one take up a parable against you , and lament with a doleful lamentation , and say , We be utterly spoiled : he hath changed the portion of my people : how hath he removed it from me ! turning away he hath divided our fields . * Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD . * Prophesy ye not , say they to them that prophesy : they shall not prophesy to them , that they shall not take shame . * O thou that art named the house of Jacob Ya #aqob #, is the spirit of the LORD straitened ? are these his doings ma #alal #? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly ? * Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy : ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war . * The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses ; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever . * Arise ye , and depart ; for this is not your rest : because it is polluted , it shall destroy you , even with a sore destruction . * If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do 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 Ya #aqob #, all of thee ; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel Yisra #el #; I will put them tgether 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 is come up before them : they have broken up , and have passed through the gate sha #ar #, and are gone out by it : and their king shall pass before them , and the LORD on the head of them .
