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.
7. O thou that calls thyself the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord shortened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?
8. He who yesterday was my people is risen up as an enemy; ye pull off the robe with the garment from those that pass by as those who return from war.
9. Ye have cast the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their children ye have taken away my continual praise.
