## Text

[1] Woe to those who devise iniquity
and plot evil on their beds!
At morning’s light they accomplish it
because the power is in their hands. [2] They covet fields and seize them;
they take away houses.
They deprive a man of his home,
a fellow man of his inheritance. [3] Therefore this is what the LORD says:
“I am planning against this nation a disaster
from which you cannot free your necks.
Then you will not walk so proudly,
for it will be a time of calamity. [4] In that day they will take up a proverb against you
and taunt you with this bitter lamentation:
‘We are utterly ruined!
He has changed the portion of my people.
How He has removed it from me!
He has allotted our fields to traitors.’” [5] Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD
to divide the land by lot. [6] “Do not preach,” they preach.
“Do not preach these things;
disgrace will not overtake us.” [7] Should it be said, O house of Jacob,
“Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient?
Are these the things He does?”
Do not My words bring good
to him who walks uprightly? [8] But of late My people have risen up
like an enemy:
You strip off the splendid robe
from unsuspecting passersby
like men returning from battle. [9] You drive the women of My people
from their pleasant homes.
You take away My blessing
from their children forever. [10] Arise and depart,
for this is not your place of rest,
because its defilement brings destruction—
a grievous destruction! [11] If a man of wind were to come
and say falsely,
“I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,”
he would be just the preacher for this people! [12] I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob;
I will collect the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in the midst of its pasture—
a noisy throng. [13] One who breaks open the way
will go up before them;
they will break through the gate,
and go out by it.
Their King will pass through before them,
the LORD as their leader.
