1. Oy to them who scheme wickedness, who work out evil upon their beds! In the light of the morning, they do it, for the power is in their hands.
2. They covet fields, so they seize them, or houses, and take them away. So they oppress a man and his house— a man and his inheritance.
3. Therefore, thus said Adonai: “Behold, I am scheming a calamity against this family from which you cannot remove your necks. Then you will not walk haughtily, for it will be a time of distress.”
4. In that day He will lift up a parable for you, and there will be wailing lamentation, saying: “We have been utterly ruined! He changes the portion of my people. How He removes it from me! To the faithless He apportions our fields!”
5. Therefore you will have no one casting for territory by lot in the congregation of Adonai.
