“Against this family I am planning an evil
from which you will not withdraw your necks;
nor will you walk with your heads held high,
for it will be an evil time.”
On that day they will take up a dirge for you;
sadly lamenting, they will wail,
“We are completely ruined!
Our people’s land has changed hands.
Our fields are taken away from us;
instead of restoring them, he parcels them out.”
Therefore, you will have no one
in the assembly of Adonai
to stretch out a measuring line and restore
the land assigned by lot.

“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,

    they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(C)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(D)

    He assigns our fields to traitors.’”

Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord
    to divide the land(E) by lot.(F)
