1Woe to those who plot evil and do shady stuff in their beds! When the morning hits, they just go for it, 'cause they can.

2They’re out here wanting land, taking it by force; snatching houses too. Total oppression vibes, even taking a dude’s home and legacy.

3So the Lord's like, "Listen up, I'm about to drop some bad news on this fam, and there's no escaping it; this time is sus."

4On that day, someone’s gonna hit you with a sad story, saying, "We’re totally wrecked! They switched up my people’s share; how’d they take it from me?!"

5So you ain't gonna have no one throwing lots in the Lord's crew.

6"Don’t prophesy," they say to those who do; they’re like, "Just don’t say anything, or you’ll feel the shame."

7Yo, house of Jacob, is the Lord’s spirit tight? Is this how He rolls? My words do good for those who keep it real, no cap.

8Lately, my people are acting like enemies: pulling off robes from those just chilling, like they don’t want no drama.

9You kicked my peeps outta their nice homes; took my glory from their kids forever. That’s savage.

10Get up and bounce; this ain’t your chill spot: it’s toxic and gonna wreck you, for real.

11If a dude is out here lying and saying, "I’ll prophesy about wine and strong drinks," he’s just a false prophet for this crew.

12I’m definitely gathering all of you, Jacob; gonna pull together the remnant of Israel like sheep in a fold, making noise 'cause there’s so many.

13The breaker’s here: they’ve busted through the gate, and their king’s leading the way, with the Lord at the front.

1Woe 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.

2And 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.

3Therefore 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.

4In 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.

5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.

6Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

7O 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?

8Even 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.

9The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

11If 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.

12I 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.

13The 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.
