1. Doomed! You're doomed!At night you lie in bed,making evil plans.And when morning comes,you do what you've plannedbecause you have the power.
2. You grab any field or housethat you want;you cheat familiesout of homes and land.
3. But here is what the Lord says:“I am planning trouble for you.Your necks will be caughtin a noose,and you will be disgracedin this time of disaster.”
4. When that happens,this sorrowful songwill be sung about you:“Ruined! Completely ruined!The Lord has taken our landand given it to traitors.”
5. And so you will never againown propertyamong the Lord's people.
6. “Enough of your preaching!”That's what you tell me.“We won't be disgraced,so stop preaching!”
7. Descendants of Jacob,is it right for you to claimthat the Lord did what he didbecause he was angry?Doesn't he always blessthose who do right?
