and work evil on their beds!

When the morning is light, they practice it,

because it is in the power of their hand.

and houses, and take them away:

and they oppress a man and his house,

even a man and his heritage.

“Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,

from which you will not remove your necks,

neither will you walk haughtily;

for it is an evil time.

and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,

‘We are utterly ruined!

My people’s possession is divided up.

Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”

They prophesy.

“Don’t prophesy about these things.

Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

“Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?

Are these his doings?

Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

For this is not your resting place,

because of uncleanness that destroys,

even with a grievous destruction.

“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;”

he would be the prophet of this people.

I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;

I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,

as a flock in the middle of their pasture;

they will swarm with people.

They break through the gate, and go out.

And their king passes on before them,

with Yahweh at their head.
