2 Woe to those who ^(A)devise wrongdoing,
Who practice evil on their beds!
^[a](B)When morning comes, they do it,
Because it is in the ^(C)power of their hands.
² They ^(D)covet fields, so they ^(E)seize them;
And houses, so they take them.
They ^[b](F)exploit a man and his house,
A person and his inheritance.

“Behold, I am ^(G)planning against this ^(H)family a catastrophe
From which you ^(I)cannot remove your necks;
And you will not walk ^(J)haughtily,
For it will be an ^(K)evil time.
⁴ On that day they will ^(L)take up against you a ^[c]song of mocking
And ^[d](M)utter a song of mourning and say,
‘We are completely ^(N)destroyed!
He exchanges the share of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He ^(O)apportions our fields.’
⁵ Therefore you will have no one ^[e](P)applying a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.
