1 Ah! you plotters of iniquity,who work out evil on your beds!In the morning light you carry it outfor it lies within your power.
2 You covet fields, and seize them;houses, and take them;You cheat owners of their houses,people of their inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:Look, I am planning against this family an evilfrom which you cannot free your necks;Nor shall you walk with head held high,for it will be an evil time.
4 On that day you shall be mocked,and there will be bitter lament:“Our ruin is complete,our fields are divided among our captors,The fields of my people are measured out,and no one can get them back!”
