God’s Warning to His People

“Woe to those who are crafting iniquity,
planning evil well into the night![a]
When morning’s light comes,
    they carry out their plans[b] because they have the power to do so.
They covet fields and seize them;
    they covet[c] houses, and grab them, too.
They harass the valiant man, along with his household,
    an individual and his estate.
