Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,
    from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(B)
    for it will be a time of calamity.

    they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(C)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(D)
He takes it from me!
    He assigns our fields to traitors.’”

Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord
    to divide the land(E) by lot.(F)

    to the one whose ways are upright?(J)
