1Woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil upon their beds. In the light of the morning they do it, because it is in the power of their hand.2They desired lands and seized them, and houses and took them away; they oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.3Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am devising disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks, and you will not walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.4In that day they shall raise a taunt song against you and wail with bitter lamentation, and say, "We are utterly ruined; he changes the portion of my people; how he removes it from me! To the apostate he apportions our fields."5Therefore you will have none to cast the line by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
