The Evil Plans of People

How terrible it will be for people who plan wickedness.
    They lie on their beds and make evil plans.
When the morning light comes, they do the things they planned.
    They do them just because they have the power to do so.
They want fields; so they take them.
    They want houses; so they take them.
They cheat a man and take his house.
    They cheat a man and take his property.

That is why the Lord says:

“Look, I am planning trouble against such people.
    You won’t be able to save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
    because it will be a terrible time.
