33:002:001 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work
evil upon their
beds!
when the morning is light, they practise it, because
it
is
in the power of their hand.
33:002:002 And they covet fields, and take them by
violence; and houses,
and
take them away: so they oppress a man and his
house, even
a
man and his heritage.
33:002:003 Therefore thus saith the lord; Behold,
against this family do
I
devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your
necks;
neither
shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
33:002:004 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.
33:002:005 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall
cast a cord by lot
in
the congregation of the lord.
33:002:006 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that
prophesy: they shall
not
prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
33:002:007 O thou that art named the house of Jacob,
is the spirit of the
lord
straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do
good
to
him that walketh uprightly?
33:002:008 Even of late my people is risen up as an
enemy: ye pull off
the
robe with the garment from them that pass by securely
as
men
averse from war.
33:002:009 The women of my people have ye cast out
from their pleasant
houses;
from their children have ye taken away my glory for
ever.
33:002:010 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your
rest: because it is
polluted,
it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
33:002:011 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood
do lie, saying, I
will
prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he
shall
even
be the prophet of this people.
33:002:012 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of
thee; I will surely
gather
the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as
the
sheep
of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold:
they
shall
make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
33:002:013 The breaker is come up before them:
they have broken up, and
have
passed through the gate, and are gone out by it:
and
their
king shall pass before them, and the lord on the
head of
them.
33:003:001 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of
Jacob, and ye princes
of
the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
33:003:002 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who
pluck off their skin
from
off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
