2 They covet fields, so they seize them, or houses, and take them away. So they oppress a man and his house— a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore, thus said Adonai: “Behold, I am scheming a calamity against this family from which you cannot remove your necks. Then you will not walk haughtily, for it will be a time of distress.”
4 In that day He will lift up a parable for you, and there will be wailing lamentation, saying: “We have been utterly ruined! He changes the portion of my people. How He removes it from me! To the faithless He apportions our fields!”
5 Therefore you will have no one casting for territory by lot in the congregation of Adonai.
6 “Do not prophesy,” they prophesy. Unless they prophesy about such things, He will not turn back reproaches.”
7 Is it said, “O house of Jacob, is the Ruach Adonai short of patience? Are these His deeds?” “Do not My words deal well with one who walks uprightly?”
8 But recently My people arose as an enemy. You strip off the outer robe of a garment from those passing through confidently— those returning from war.
