So the Lord says to them,

“I am planning to send trouble on you.
    You will not be able to save yourselves from it.
You will not live so proudly anymore.
    It will be a time of trouble.
At that time people will make fun of you.
    They will tease you by singing a song of sadness.
    They will pretend to be you and say,
‘We are totally destroyed.
    Our enemies have divided up our land.
The Lord has taken it away from us!
    He has given our fields to those
    who turned against us.’ ”

So you won’t even have anyone left
    in the Lord’s community
    who can divide up the land for you.

Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,
    from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(B)
    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;(C)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(D)
He takes it from me!
    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)

In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
