1 Woe to those who plan iniquity,to those who plot evil on their beds!At morning’s light they carry it outbecause it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields and seize them,and houses, and take them.They defraud people of their homes,they rob them of their inheritance.
3 Therefore, the Lord says:‘I am planning disaster against this people,from which you cannot save yourselves.You will no longer walk proudly,for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;they will taunt you with this mournful song:“We are utterly ruined;my people’s possession is divided up.He takes it from me!He assigns our fields to traitors.” ’
5 Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lordto divide the land by lot.
