They assign our fields to the conqueror.' Therefore no one will assign you land in the Lord's community. Don't preach with such impassioned rhetoric,' they say excitedly. 'These prophets should not preach of such things; we will not be overtaken by humiliation.' Does the family of Jacob say, 'The Lord's patience can't be exhausted -- he would never do such things'? To be sure, my commands bring a reward for those who obey them, but you rise up as an enemy against my people.

You defraud their children of their prized inheritance. But you are the ones who will be forced to leave! For this land is not secure! Sin will thoroughly destroy it! If a lying windbag should come and say, 'I'll promise you blessings of wine and beer,' he would be just the right preacher for these people!
