2 Woe to those who ^(A)devise wickedness,
Who work out evil on their beds!
^(B)When the light of the morning comes, they do it,
For it is in the ^(C)power of their hands.
² And they ^(D)covet fields and then ^(E)tear them away,
And houses, and take them away.
And they ^(F)oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.

³ Her ^(A)princes in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are ^(B)wolves at evening;
They leave nothing to gnaw for the morning.
