1	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.
			2	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. [oppress: or, defraud]
			3	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.
			4	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. [a doleful...: Heb. a lamentation of lamentations] [turning...: or, instead of restoring]
			5	Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast# a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
			6	Prophesy# ye not, say they to them that prophesy# : they shall not prophesy# to them, that they shall not take# shame. [Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc]
			7	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? [straitened: or, shortened?] [uprightly: Heb. upright?]
			8	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. [of late: Heb. yesterday] [with the: Heb. over against a]
			9	The women of my people have ye cast out# from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away# my glory for ever. [women: or, wives]
			10	Arise# ye, and depart# ; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted# , it shall destroy# you , even with a sore# destruction.
			11	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. [walking...: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely]
			12	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.
			13	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.
