Woe to the Oppressors of God’s People

Woe to those who plan wickedness
    and evil deeds upon their beds!
In the light of the morning they did it,
    because they have power in their hands.
They covet fields and seize them,
    and houses, and they take them away.
They oppress a man and his house;
    a man and his inheritance.

Oppressors will themselves be ruined

        to those who plan evil when they are in bed.

    They oppress a householder and those in his house,
        a man and his estate.
