Wo to them purposing vanity, and working evil upon their beds! In the light of the morning they will do it because it is to the strength of their hand. And they desired fields, and they took by force; and houses, and they took away: and they oppressed a man and his house, and a man and his inheritance. For this, thus said Jehovah: Behold me purposing evil against this family, which ye shall not remove your necks from thence; and ye shall not go loftily: for it is an evil time. read more.
In that day a parable shall be lifted up against you, and a wailing of a wailing was wailed, saying, Being laid waste, we shall be laid waste: he will exchange a portion of my people: how he will remove to me; for turning away, he will divide our fields. For this there shall not be to thee any casting a cord by lot in the convocation of Jehovah. Ye shall not let fall in drops; they shall let fall in drops; they shall not let fall in drops for these; shame shall not be removed. Causing the house of Jacob to say, Was the spirit of Jehovah shortened? if these his doings? shall not my words do good to a people going straight?. Aforetime my people for the enemy: he will raise them up from before the garment; ye will put off the wide cloak from those passing by with confidence, turning back the war. The women of my people ye will thrust out from the house of her delights; from her children ye will take my majesty forever. Arise ye, and go, for this is not the rest: because it was defiled it will destroy, and with a sore destruction. If a man going in the spirit and falsehood, lying, I will drop to thee for wine and for strong drink; and he was the dropping of this people.
