Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.

In that day they will raise a proverb against you,
    and will wail a bitter wailing, saying,
“We are utterly ruined;
    he exchanges the portion of my people.
How he removes it from me;
    he apportions our field to an apostate.”
Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot
    in the assembly of Yahweh.

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.
