They covet fields, and seize them;
    and houses, and take them away:
    and they oppress a man and his house,
    even a man and his heritage.
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.
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!’”

They covet fields(A) and seize them,(B)
    and houses, and take them.
They defraud(C) people of their homes,
    they rob them of their inheritance.(D)

Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster(E) against this people,
    from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(F)
    for it will be a time of calamity.
In that day people will ridicule you;
    they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(G)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(H)
He takes it from me!
    He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
