1Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they do it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a [noble] man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3Therefore thus says Yahweh: Look, I devise an evil against this family, from which you{+} will not remove your{+} necks, neither will you{+} walk haughtily; for it is an evil time. 4In that day they will take up a parable against you{+}, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are completely ruined: he exchanges the portion of my people: how he removes [it] from me! In order to make restitution, he divides our fields. 5Therefore you will have none who will cast the line by lot in the assembly of Yahweh. 6Do not prophesy{+}, [thus] they prophesy. They will not prophesy to these: reproaches will not depart. 7Will it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Yahweh straitened? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly? 8Even yesterday my people rose up as an enemy: in front of a cloak you{+} strip the glory from those who pass by securely, being averse to war. 9The women of my people you{+} cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you{+} take away my glory forever. 10Arise{+}, and depart; for this is not your{+} resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction. 11If a man walking after the wind and producing lies, lies, [saying], I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink; he will even be the prophet of this people. 12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will make great noise by reason of man. 13The breaker has gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and have gone out of it; and their king has passed on before them, and Yahweh at the head of them.
