21Woe to those who devise iniquityand work evil on their beds!When the morning is light, they practise it,because it is in the power of their hand.+2They covet fields and seize them,and houses, then take them away.They oppress a man and his house,even a man and his heritage.+3Therefore the LORD 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.+4In 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!’”+5Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.+
6“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy—“Don’t prophesy about these things.Disgrace won’t overtake us.”+7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob,“Is the LORD’s Spirit angry?Are these his doings?Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”+8But 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.+9You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;from their young children you take away my blessing forever.+10Arise, and depart!For this is not your resting place,because of uncleanness that destroys,even with a grievous destruction.+11If 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.+
12I 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.+13He who breaks open the way goes up before them.They break through the gate, and go out.Their king passes on before them,with the LORD at their head.+
