¹ Woe to those who dream up wickedness² They covet fields^(C1) and seize them;^(C2)
they also take houses.
They deprive a man of his home,^(C3)
a person of his inheritance.^(C4)

I am now planning^(C1) a disaster
against this nation;^(C2)
you cannot free your necks from it.^(C3)
Then you will not walk so proudly^(C4)
because it will be an evil time.^(C5)
4 In that day one will take up^(C1) a taunt against you
and lament mournfully,^(C2) saying,
“We are totally ruined!^(C3)
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How he removes it from me!
He allots our fields^(C4) to traitors.”⁵ Therefore, there will be no one
in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by casting lots.^(F1)(C1)

⁶ “Quit your preaching,”^(C1) they^(F1) preach.
“They should not preach these things;^(C2)
shame will not overtake us.”^(F2)(C3)7 House of Jacob, should it be asked,
“Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?^(C1)
Are these the things he does?”
Don’t my words bring good^(C2)
to the one who walks uprightly?^(C3)8 But recently my people have risen up
like an enemy:^(C1)
You strip off the splendid robe^(C2)
from those who are passing through confidently,^(C3)
like those returning from war.⁹ You force^(C1) the women of my people
out of their comfortable homes,
and you take my blessing^(F1)(C2)
from their children forever.¹⁰ Get up and leave,
for this is not your place of rest^(C1)
because defilement^(C2) brings destruction—
a grievous destruction!^(C3)11 If a man comes
and utters empty lies^(C1) —
“I will preach to you about wine and beer”^(C2) —
he would be just the preacher for this people!^(C3)

¹² I will indeed gather^(C1) all of you, Jacob;
I will collect the remnant of Israel.^(C2)
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in the middle of its pasture.
It will be noisy with people.^(C3)13 One who breaks open the way
will advance before them;
they will break out, pass through the city gate,
and leave by it.
Their King will pass through before them,
the Lord as their leader.
