1. Ah! you plotters of iniquity,who work out evil on your beds!In the morning light you carry it outfor it lies within your power.
2. You covet fields, and seize them;houses, and take them;You cheat owners of their houses,people of their inheritance.
3. Therefore thus says the Lord:Look, I am planning against this family an evilfrom which you cannot free your necks;Nor shall you walk with head held high,for it will be an evil time.
4. On that day you shall be mocked,and there will be bitter lament:“Our ruin is complete,our fields are divided among our captors,The fields of my people are measured out,and no one can get them back!”
5. Thus you shall have no onein the assembly of the Lordto allot to you a share of land.
