Chapter 2. Woe to those who devise iniquity and Work out evil on their beds At Morning Light they practice it Because it is in the power of their hand They covet fields and take them by Violence Also houses and sees them So they oppress a man and his house a Man and his inheritance Therefore thus says the Lord Behold against this family I am devising Disaster from which you cannot remove Your necks Nor shall you walk heartily for this is An evil time In that day one shall take up a proverb Against you and lament with a bitter Lamentation saying we are utterly Destroyed he has changed the heritage of My people how he has removed it from me To a turncoat he has divided our fields Therefore you will have no one to Determine boundaries by lot in the Assembly of the Lord Do not prattle you say to those who Prophesy So they shall not prophesy to you they Shall not return insult for insult You who are named the house of Jacob Is the spirit of the Lord restricted Are these his doings Do not my words do good to him who walks Uprightly
Lately my people have risen up as an Enemy you pull off the robe with the Garment from those who trust you as they Pass by like men returned from war The women of my people you cast out from Their Pleasant houses From their children you have taken away My glory forever Arise and depart for this is not your Rest Because it is defiled it shall destroy Yes with utter destruction If a man should walk in a false spirit And speak a lie saying I will prophesy To you of wine and drink Even he would be the prattler of this People I will surely assemble All of You O Jacob I will surely gather the remnant of Israel I will put them together like sheep of The fold like a flock in the midst of Their pasture They shall make a loud noise because of So many people The one who breaks open will come up Before them They will break out pass through the Gate and go out by it Their King will pass before them with The Lord at their head
