|
\v 1 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
|
|
\q to those who plan on their beds to do evil.
|
|
\q In the morning light they do it
|
|
\q because they have power.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 They desire fields and seize them;
|
|
\q they desire houses and take them.
|
|
\q They oppress a man and his house,
|
|
\q a man and his inheritance.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Therefore Yahweh says this,
|
|
\q "Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan,
|
|
\q from which you will not remove your necks.
|
|
\q You will not walk arrogantly,
|
|
\q for it will be an evil time.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 In that day men will sing a song about you,
|
|
\q and lament with a wailing lamentation.
|
|
\q They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined;
|
|
\q Yahweh changes the territory of my people.
|
|
\q How can he remove it from me?
|
|
\q He portions out our fields to traitors!'"
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot
|
|
\q in the assembly of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 "Do not prophesy,"
|
|
\q they say.
|
|
\q "They must not prophesy these things;
|
|
\q reproaches must not come."
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Should it really be said, house of Jacob,
|
|
\q "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry?
|
|
\q Are these really his deeds?"
|
|
\q Do not my words do good
|
|
\q to anyone who walks uprightly?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Lately my people have risen up like an enemy.
|
|
\q You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly,
|
|
\q as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses;
|
|
\q you take my blessing from their young children forever.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Get up and leave,
|
|
\q for this is not a place where you can stay,
|
|
\q because of its uncleanness;
|
|
\q it is destroyed with complete destruction.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 If someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says,
|
|
\q "I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,"
|
|
\q he would be considered to be a prophet for this people.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\v 12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob.
|
|
\q I will surely gather the remnant of Israel.
|
|
\q I will bring them together like sheep in a fold,
|
|
\q like a flock in the midst of their pasture.
|
|
\q There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them.
|
|
\q They break through the gate and go out;
|
|
\q their king will pass on before them.
|
|
\q Yahweh will be at their head.
