2 They covet fields and seize them,

and houses, and take them.

They defraud people of their homes,

they rob them of their inheritance.

3 Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster against this people,

from which you cannot save yourselves.

You will no longer walk proudly,

for it will be a time of calamity.

2 They covet fields and seize 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 this family I am devising disaster,

from which you cannot remove your necks,

and you shall not walk haughtily,

for it will be a time of disaster.

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.

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.

2 When you want a piece of land,

you find a way to seize it.

When you want someone’s house,

you take it by fraud and violence.

You cheat a man of his property,

stealing his family’s inheritance.

3 But this is what the Lord says:

“I will reward your evil with evil;

you won’t be able to pull your neck out of the noose.

You will no longer walk around proudly,

for it will be a terrible time.”

2 They want fields, so they take them;

they want houses, so they take them away.

They cheat people to get their houses;

they rob them even of their property.

3 That is why the Lord says:

“Look, I am planning trouble against such people,

and you won’t be able to save yourselves.

You will no longer walk proudly,

because it will be a terrible time.

2 And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.

2 They desire ⸤other people’s⸥ fields, so they seize them. 

They desire ⸤people’s⸥ houses, so they take them. 

They cheat a man and his family, 

a man and his inheritance. 

3 So this is what the Lord says: 

I’m planning a disaster to punish your family. 

You won’t be able to rescue yourselves. 

You will no longer be able to walk proudly. 

This will be a time of disaster. 

2 They covet fields and seize them;

they also take houses.

They deprive a man of his home,

a person of his inheritance.

3 Therefore, the Lord says:

I am now planning a disaster

against this nation;

you cannot free your necks from it.

Then you will not walk so proudly

because it will be an evil time.

2 They covet fields, and seize them;

houses, and take them away;

they oppress householder and house,

people and their inheritance.

3 Therefore thus says the Lord:

Now, I am devising against this family an evil

from which you cannot remove your necks;

and you shall not walk haughtily,

for it will be an evil time.

2 They covet fields and seize them,

and houses, and they take them away.

They oppress a man and his house;

a man and his inheritance.

3 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.

2 If they want fields or houses,

they take them.

They cheat men out of

their homes and property.

3 So the Lord says to them,

“I am planning to send trouble on you.

You will not be able to save yourselves from it.

You will not live so proudly anymore.

It will be a time of trouble.

2 They covet fields and then seize them,

And houses, and take them away.

They rob a man and his house,

A man and his inheritance.

3 Therefore thus says the Lord,

“Behold, I am planning against this family a calamity

From which you cannot remove your necks;

And you will not walk haughtily,

For it will be an evil time.
