3. That is why the Lord says:“Look, I am planning trouble against such people,and you won’t be able to save yourselves.You will no longer walk proudly,because it will be a terrible time.
4. At that time people will make fun of youand sing this sad song about you:‘We are completely ruined;the Lord has taken away my people’s land.Yes, he has taken it away from meand divided our fields among our enemies!’ ”
5. So you will have no one from the Lord’s peopleto throw lots to divide the land.
6. The prophets say, “Don’t prophesy to us!Don’t prophesy about these things!Nothing to make us feel bad will happen!”
7. But I must say this, people of Jacob:The Lord is becoming angry about what you have done.My words are welcometo the person who does what is right.
