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.”
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:“Is the Lord’s Spirit angry?Are these his doings?Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
