Woeto them that deviseiniquity, and workevilupontheir beds! when the morningis light, they practiceit, becauseit isin the powerof their hand. And they covetfields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppressa manand his houseeven a manand his heritage. Thereforethussaiththe LORD; Behold, againstthisfamilydo I devisean evil, fromwhichye shall notremoveyour necks; neithershall ye gohaughtily: forthistime is evil. In thatdayshall one take upa parableagainstyou, and lamentwith a dolefullamentation, and say, We beutterly spoiled: he hath changedthe portionof my people: howhath he removed it from me! turning awayhe hath dividedour fields.
