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;
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,
is the spirit
of the LORD
straitened?
are these his doings?
do not my words
do good
to him that walketh
uprightly?

Even of late
my people

from them that pass

as men averse
from war.

Arise
ye, and depart;
for this is not your rest:
because it is polluted,

you, even with a sore

walking

saying, I will prophesy

he shall even be the prophet

I will surely

O Jacob,
all of thee; I will surely

I will put

of their fold:
they shall make great noise
by reason of the multitude of men.

of them.
