Therefore this is what the Lord says:

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

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.(A)
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[a] alters the inheritance of my people;
how he removes it from me!
    Among our captors[b] he parcels out our fields.”(B)
Therefore you will have no one in the Lord’s assembly
    to allot you a piece of land.(C)
