1 Woe to those who devise iniquityand work evil on their beds!When the morning is light, they practice it,because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields, and seize them;and houses, and take them away:and they oppress a man and his house,even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore the Lord says:“Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,from which you will not remove your necks,neither will you walk haughtily;for it is an evil time.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you,and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,‘We are utterly ruined!My people’s possession is divided up.Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the Lord’s assembly.
6 “Don’t prophesy!”They prophesy.“Don’t prophesy about these things.Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
