Woe{H1945} to them that devise{H2803}{(H8802)} iniquity{H205}, and work{H6466}{(H8802)} evil{H7451} upon their beds{H4904}! when the morning{H1242} is light{H216}, they practise{H6213}{(H8799)} it, because it is{H3426} in the power{H410} of their hand{H3027}.

And they covet{H2530}{(H8804)} fields{H7704}, and take them by violence{H1497}{(H8804)}; and houses{H1004}, and take them away{H5375}{(H8804)}: so they oppress{H6231}{(H8804)} a man{H1397} and his house{H1004}, even a man{H376} and his heritage{H5159}.

Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, against this family{H4940} do I devise{H2803}{(H8802)} an evil{H7451}, from which ye shall not remove{H4185}{(H8686)} your necks{H6677}; neither shall ye go{H3212}{(H8799)} haughtily{H7317}: for this time{H6256} is evil{H7451}.

In that day{H3117} shall one take up{H5375}{(H8799)} a parable{H4912} against you, and lament{H5091}{(H8804)} with a doleful{H5093} lamentation{H5092}, and say{H559}{(H8804)}, We be utterly{H7703}{(H8800)} spoiled{H7703}{(H8738)}: he hath changed{H4171}{(H8686)} the portion{H2506} of my people{H5971}: how hath he removed{H4185}{(H8686)} it from me! turning away{H7725}{(H8788)} he hath divided{H2505}{(H8762)} our fields{H7704}.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast{H7993}{(H8688)} a cord{H2256} by lot{H1486} in the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068}.

Prophesy{H5197}{(H8686)} ye not, say they to them that prophesy{H5197}{(H8686)}: they shall not prophesy{H5197}{(H8686)} to them, that they shall not take{H5253}{(H8799)} shame{H3639}.

O thou that art named{H559}{(H8803)} the house{H1004} of Jacob{H3290}, is the spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068} straitened{H7114}{(H8804)}? are these his doings{H4611}? do not my words{H1697} do good{H3190}{(H8686)} to him that walketh{H1980}{(H8802)} uprightly{H3477}?

Even of late{H865} my people{H5971} is risen up{H6965}{(H8787)} as an enemy{H341}{(H8802)}: ye pull off{H6584}{(H8686)} the robe{H145} with{H4136} the garment{H8008} from them that pass{H5674}{(H8802)} by securely{H983} as men averse{H7725}{(H8803)} from war{H4421}.

The women{H802} of my people{H5971} have ye cast out{H1644}{(H8762)} from their pleasant{H8588} houses{H1004}; from their children{H5768} have ye taken away{H3947}{(H8799)} my glory{H1926} for ever{H5769}.

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)} ye, and depart{H3212}{(H8798)}; for this is not your rest{H4496}: because it is polluted{H2930}{(H8800)}, it shall destroy{H2254}{(H8762)} you, even with a sore{H4834}{(H8737)} destruction{H2256}.

If{H3863} a man{H376} walking{H1980}{(H8802)} in the spirit{H7307} and falsehood{H8267} do lie{H3576}{(H8765)}, saying, I will prophesy{H5197}{(H8686)} unto thee of wine{H3196} and of strong drink{H7941}; he shall even be the prophet{H5197}{(H8688)} of this people{H5971}.

I will surely{H622}{(H8800)} assemble{H622}{(H8799)}, O Jacob{H3290}, all of thee; I will surely{H6908}{(H8763)} gather{H6908}{(H8762)} the remnant{H7611} of Israel{H3478}; I will put{H7760}{(H8799)} them together{H3162} as the sheep{H6629} of Bozrah{H1223}{(H8677)}{H1224}, as the flock{H5739} in the midst{H8432} of their fold{H1699}: they shall make great noise{H1949}{(H8686)} by reason of the multitude of men{H120}.

The breaker{H6555}{(H8802)} is come up{H5927}{(H8804)} before{H6440} them: they have broken up{H6555}{(H8804)}, and have passed through{H5674}{(H8799)} the gate{H8179}, and are gone out{H3318}{(H8799)} by it: and their king{H4428} shall pass{H5674}{(H8799)} before{H6440} them, and the LORD{H3068} on the head{H7218} of them.
