·How terrible it will be for people [L Woe to those] who plan wickedness,
    who lie on their beds and make evil plans.
When the morning light comes, they do what they planned,
    because they have the power to do so.
They ·want [covet] fields, so they take them;
    they ·want [covet] houses, so they ·take them away [seize them].
They ·cheat [defraud; oppress] people to get their houses;
    they rob them even of their ·property [inheritance].

Woe to Oppressors

And plot evil on their beds!
