4 On that day, a taunt will be raised against you;someone will wail bitterly:"We are utterly destroyed!He exchanges the portion of my people;he removes what belongs to me;he gives away our fields to a rebel."
5 Therefore, you will have no one to set boundary linesby lot in the Lord’s assembly.
6 "They mustn’t preach!" so they preach."They mustn’t preach of such things!Disgrace won’t overtake us."
7 (Should this be said, house of Jacob?)"Is the Lord’s patience cut short? Are these his deeds?"Don’t my words help the one who behaves righteously?
8 But yesterday, my people, the Lord rose up as an enemy.You strip off the glorious clothesfrom trusting passersby, those who reject war.
9 You drive out the women of my people,each from her cherished house;from their young childrenyou take away my splendor forever.
10 Rise up and go! This can’t be the resting place;because of its uncleanness,it destroys and the destruction is horrific.
