15  He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;

God casts them out of his belly.

17  Because of the iniquity of his ^tunjust gain I was angry,

I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,

but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.

17  But you have eyes and heart

only for your dishonest gain,

^vfor shedding innocent blood,

and for practicing oppression and violence.”

^w“They shall not lament for him, saying,

^x‘Ah, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’

They shall not lament for him, saying,

^y‘Ah, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’

19  With the burial of a donkey ^zhe shall be buried,

dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”

2  They covet fields and ⁿseize them,

and houses, and take them away;

they oppress a man and his house,

a man and his inheritance.

3  Therefore thus says the Lord:

behold, against ^othis family I am devising disaster,¹

from which you cannot remove your necks,

and you ^pshall not walk haughtily,

^qfor it will be a time of disaster.
