1 Alas for them who devise iniquity and work wickedness upon their beds,—in the light of the morning, they will execute it, for it is in the power of their hand.
2 Thus do they covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away,—and so they oppress the master and his household, the man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore,—Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! devising, against this family, a calamity,—from which ye shall not remove your neck, neither shall ye walk loftily, for, a time of calamity, shall it be.
4 In that day, shall one take up against you a by-word, and lament a lamentable lamentation, saying—we are made, utterly desolate, the portion of my people, he passeth to others,—How doth he set me aside! To an apostate, our fields, doth he apportion.
5 Therefore, shalt thou have none to throw a measuring-line by lot,—in the convocation of Yahweh.
