World English Bible Classic
[1] Woe to those who devise iniquity
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning is light, they practice it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
[2] They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, then take them away.
They oppress a man and his house,
even a man and his heritage.
[3] Therefore Yahweh says:
“Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,
from which you will not remove your necks,
neither will you walk haughtily,
for it is an evil time.
[4] In that day they will take up a parable against you,
and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,
‘We are utterly ruined!
My people’s possession is divided up.
Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
[5] Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
[6] “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—
“Don’t prophesy about these things.
Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
[7] Shall it be said, O house of Jacob,
“Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?
Are these his doings?
Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
[8] But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
[9] You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
[10] Arise, and depart!
For this is not your resting place,
because of uncleanness that destroys,
even with a grievous destruction.
[11] If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying,
“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,”
he would be the prophet of this people.
[12] I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob.
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel.
I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
as a flock in the middle of their pasture.
They will swarm with people.
[13] He who breaks open the way goes up before them.
They break through the gate, and go out.
Their king passes on before them,
with Yahweh at their head.
King James Version

To Men in Power

[1] Woe H1945 to them that devise H2803 iniquity, H205 and work H6466 evil H7451 upon H5921 their beds! H4904 when the morning H1242 is light, H216 they practise H6213 it, because it is H3426 in the power H410 of their hand. H3027 [2] And they covet H2530 fields, H7704 and take them by violence; H1497 and houses, H1004 and take them away: H5375 so they oppress H6231§ a man H1397 and his house, H1004 even a man H376 and his heritage. H5159 [3] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Behold, against this family H4940 do I devise H2803 an evil, H7451 from which ye shall not remove H4185 your necks; H6677 neither shall ye go H3212 haughtily: H7317 for H3588 this H2063 time H6256 is evil. H7451 [4] In that day H3117 shall one take up H5375 a parable H4912 against H5921 you, and lament H5091 with a doleful H5093 lamentation, H5092§ and say, H559 We be utterly H7703 spoiled: H7703 he hath changed H4171 the portion H2506 of my people: H5971 how hath he removed H4185 it from me! turning away H7725 he hath divided H2505§ our fields. H7704 [5] Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast H7993 a cord H2256 by lot H1486 in the congregation H6951 of the Lord. H3068 [6] Prophesy H5197§ ye not,§ say they to them that prophesy: H5197 they shall not prophesy H5197 to them, that they shall not take H5253 shame. H3639 [7] O thou that art named H559 the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 is the spirit H7307 of the Lord H3068 straitened? H7114 are these his doings? H4611 do not H3808 my words H1697 do good H3190 to him that walketh H1980 uprightly? H3477§ [8] Even of late H865§ my people H5971 is risen up H6965 as an enemy: H341 ye pull off H6584 the robe H145 with H4136 the garment H8008§ from them that pass H5674 by securely H983 as men averse H7725 from war. H4421 [9] The women H802§ of my people H5971 have ye cast out H1644 from their pleasant H8588 houses; H1004 from their children H5768 have ye taken away H3947 my glory H1926 for ever. H5769 [10] Arise H6965 ye, and depart; H3212 for this is not your rest: H4496 because H3588 it is polluted, H2930 it shall destroy H2254 you, even with a sore H4834 destruction. H2256 [11] If H3863 a man H376 walking H1980 in the spirit H7307 and falsehood H8267§ do lie, H3576 saying, I will prophesy H5197 unto thee of wine H3196 and of strong drink; H7941 he shall even be the prophet H5197 of this people. H5971 [12] I will surely H622 assemble, H622 O Jacob, H3290 all H3605 of thee; I will surely H6908 gather H6908 the remnant H7611 of Israel; H3478 I will put H7760 them together H3162 as the sheep H6629 of Bozrah, H1223 H1224 as the flock H5739 in the midst H8432 of their fold: H1699 they shall make great noise H1949 by reason of the multitude of men. H120 [13] The breaker H6555 is come up H5927 before H6440 them: they have broken up, H6555 and have passed through H5674 the gate, H8179 and are gone out H3318 by it: and their king H4428 shall pass H5674 before H6440 them, and the Lord H3068 on the head H7218 of them.
