2 : 1 Woe to those who scheme iniquity, Who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands.
2 : 2 They covet fields and then seize them, And houses, and take them away They rob a man and his house, A man and his inheritance.
2 : 3 Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am planning against this family a calamity From which you cannot remove your necks; And you will not walk haughtily, For it will be an evil time.
2 : 4 On that day they will take up against you a taunt And utter a bitter lamentation and say, `We are completely destroyed! He exchanges the portion of my people; How He removes it from me! To the apostate He apportions our fields.`
2 : 5 Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
2 : 6 `Do not speak out,` so they speak out But if they do not speak out concerning these things, Reproaches will not be turned back.
2 : 7 Is it being said, O house of Jacob: `Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these His doings?` Do not My words do good To the one walking uprightly?
2 : 8 Recently My people have arisen as an enemy-- You strip the robe off the garment From unsuspecting passers-by, From those returned from war.

2 : 10 Arise and go, For this is no place of rest Because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction, A painful destruction.
2 : 11 If a man walking after wind and falsehood Had told lies and said, `I will speak out to you concerning wine and liquor,` He would be spokesman to this people.
2 : 12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture They will be noisy with men.
2 : 13 The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the LORD at their head.
