And they (A)covet fields and then (B)tear them away,
And houses, and take them away.
And they (C)oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.

Therefore thus says Yahweh,

“Behold, I am (D)devising against this (E)family an evil demise
From which you (F)cannot remove your necks;
And you will not walk (G)haughtily,
For it will be an (H)evil time.
On that day they will (I)take up against you a [a]taunt
And [b](J)utter a bitter wailing and say,
‘We are completely (K)devastated!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the faithless one, He (L)apportions our fields.’
