"Woe to those who are crafting iniquity, planning evil well into the night! When morning's light comes, they carry out their plans because they have the power to do so. They covet fields and seize them; they covet houses, and grab them, too. They harass the valiant man, along with his household, an individual and his estate. "Therefore this is what the LORD says, "I'm crafting evil against this family, from which you can't escape. You won't strut around arrogantly, because the times are evil.' read more.
"When this happens, someone will compose a proverb about you, lamenting sorrowfully, "We are completely ruined! He has given my people's heritage to others. How he has removed it from me, dividing up our fields!' "This is why there will not be left even a single person to settle boundary disputes in the LORD's community. To those who speak out, they will declare, "Don't prophesy to anyone!' so their shame won't go away. "It is said, house of Jacob, "The Spirit of the LORD is limited, if he acts this way, is he not?' "But my words benefit those who live righteously, do they not? Lately my people have acted like an enemy you strip travelers who thought they were as secure as those who return from war. You have evicted the wives of my people from their dream homes; you have removed my majesty from their children permanently. "Get up and go, because there's no rest for you here! Since everything is polluted, it can only cause destruction, even heavy destruction. Suppose a man who keeps company with a deceiving spirit prophesies like this: "Drink wine and strong drink!' Won't the people accept him as a prophet?"

"It is said, house of Jacob, "The Spirit of the LORD is limited, if he acts this way, is he not?' "But my words benefit those who live righteously, do they not?
