1. Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2. And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3. Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
4. In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove it from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.
5. Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
