1  ^lWoe to those who devise wickedness

and work evil ^mon their beds!

When the morning dawns, they perform it,

because it is in the power of their hand.

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.
