3 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.
4 In that day they will raise a proverb against you, and will wail a bitter wailing, saying, “We are utterly ruined; he exchanges the portion of my people. How he removes it from me; he apportions our field to an apostate.”
5 Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 “Do not preach!” they are preaching. They should not preach to these; disgrace will not overtake us.
7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the patience of Yahweh shortened? Are these his deeds? Are my words not pleasing to him who walks upright?
8 But recently my people have risen up as an enemy; from before the cloak you strip off the robe from those passing by in confidence, returning from war.
9 You have driven out the women of my people from the houses of their pleasure. From their children you have taken away my glory forever.
