1. Woe unto those that devise iniquity and fabricate evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they put it into effect because they have power in their hands.
2. And they coveted fields and stole them, and houses and took them away; so they oppressed the man and his house, even the man and his heritage.
3. Therefore thus hath the Lord said; Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily; for the time shall be evil.
4. In that time shall one take up a saying against you and lament with a doleful lamentation and say, We have been utterly destroyed; he has changed the portion of my people; how has he taken our fields! He has given and divided our fields unto others.
5. Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6. Do not prophesy, they say to those that prophesy: Do not prophesy unto them that they are to understand shame.
