1 Woe|strong="H1945" to them that devise|strong="H2803" iniquity|strong="H0205", and work|strong="H6466" evil|strong="H7451" upon their beds|strong="H4904"! when the morning|strong="H1242" is light|strong="H0216", they practise|strong="H6213" it, because it is|strong="H3426" in the power|strong="H0410" of their hand|strong="H3027".
2 And they covet|strong="H2530" fields|strong="H7704", and take them by violence|strong="H1497"; and houses|strong="H1004", and take them away|strong="H5375": so they oppress|strong="H6231" a man|strong="H1397" and his house|strong="H1004", even a man|strong="H0376" and his heritage|strong="H5159".
3 Therefore thus saith|strong="H0559" the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*; Behold, against this family|strong="H4940" do I devise|strong="H2803" an evil|strong="H7451", from which ye shall not remove|strong="H4185" your necks|strong="H6677"; neither shall ye go|strong="H3212" haughtily|strong="H7317": for this time|strong="H6256" is evil|strong="H7451".
4 In that day|strong="H3117" shall one take up|strong="H5375" a parable|strong="H4912" against you, and lament|strong="H5091" with a doleful|strong="H5093" lamentation|strong="H5092", and say|strong="H0559", We be utterly|strong="H7703" spoiled|strong="H7703": he hath changed|strong="H4171" the portion|strong="H2506" of my people|strong="H5971": how hath he removed|strong="H4185" it from me! turning away|strong="H7725" he hath divided|strong="H2505" our fields|strong="H7704".
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast|strong="H7993" a cord|strong="H2256" by lot|strong="H1486" in the congregation|strong="H6951" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*.
6 Prophesy|strong="H5197" ye not, say they to them that prophesy|strong="H5197": they shall not prophesy|strong="H5197" to them, that they shall not take|strong="H5253" shame|strong="H3639".
7 O thou that art named|strong="H0559" the house|strong="H1004" of Jacob|strong="H3290", is the spirit|strong="H7307" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* straitened|strong="H7114"? are these his doings|strong="H4611"? do not my words|strong="H1697" do good|strong="H3190" to him that walketh|strong="H1980" uprightly|strong="H3477"?
8 Even of late|strong="H0865" my people|strong="H5971" is risen up|strong="H6965" as an enemy|strong="H0341": ye pull off|strong="H6584" the robe|strong="H0145" with|strong="H4136" the garment|strong="H8008" from them that pass|strong="H5674" by securely|strong="H0983" as men averse|strong="H7725" from war|strong="H4421".
9 The women|strong="H0802" of my people|strong="H5971" have ye cast out|strong="H1644" from their pleasant|strong="H8588" houses|strong="H1004"; from their children|strong="H5768" have ye taken away|strong="H3947" my glory|strong="H1926" for ever|strong="H5769".
10 Arise|strong="H6965" ye, and depart|strong="H3212"; for this is not your rest|strong="H4496": because it is polluted|strong="H2930", it shall destroy|strong="H2254" you, even with a sore|strong="H4834" destruction|strong="H2256".
11 If|strong="H3863" a man|strong="H0376" walking|strong="H1980" in the spirit|strong="H7307" and falsehood|strong="H8267" do lie|strong="H3576", saying, I will prophesy|strong="H5197" unto thee of wine|strong="H3196" and of strong drink|strong="H7941"; he shall even be the prophet|strong="H5197" of this people|strong="H5971".
12 I will surely|strong="H0622" assemble|strong="H0622", O Jacob|strong="H3290", all of thee; I will surely|strong="H6908" gather|strong="H6908" the remnant|strong="H7611" of Israel|strong="H3478"; I will put|strong="H7760" them together|strong="H3162" as the sheep|strong="H6629" of Bozrah|strong="H1223", as the flock|strong="H5739" in the midst|strong="H8432" of their fold|strong="H1699": they shall make great noise|strong="H1949" by reason of the multitude of men|strong="H0120".
13 The breaker|strong="H6555" is come up|strong="H5927" before|strong="H6440" them: they have broken up|strong="H6555", and have passed through|strong="H5674" the gate|strong="H8179", and are gone out|strong="H3318" by it: and their king|strong="H4428" shall pass|strong="H5674" before|strong="H6440" them, and the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* on the head|strong="H7218" of them.
