2 Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and evil deeds^[a] on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in their power.^(A)
2 They covet fields and seize them,
    houses and take them away;
they oppress householder and house,
    people and their inheritance.^(B)
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
Now, I am devising against this family an evil
    from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk arrogantly,
    for it will be an evil time.^(C)
4 On that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
    and wail with bitter lamentation
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
    the Lord^[b] alters the inheritance of my people;
how he removes it from me!
    Among our captors^[c] he parcels out our fields.”^(D)
5 Therefore you will have no one in the Lord’s assembly
    to allot you a piece of land.^(E)
