4In that day rthey shall take up a taunt song against you

and moan bitterly,

and say, “We are utterly ruined;

she changes the portion of my people;

show he removes it from me!

tTo an apostate he allots our fields.”

5Therefore you will have none uto cast the line by lot

in the assembly of the Lord.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

In that day people will ridicule you;

they will taunt you with this mournful song:

‘We are utterly ruined;

my people’s possession is divided up.

He takes it from me!

He assigns our fields to traitors.’ ”

Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord

to divide the land by lot.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

In that day one will take up a taunt against you

and lament mournfully, saying,

“We are totally ruined!

He measures out the allotted land of my people.

How he removes it from me!

He allots our fields to traitors.”

Therefore, there will be no one

in the assembly of the Lord

to divide the land by casting lots.

NLTNew Living Translation

In that day your enemies will make fun of you

by singing this song of despair about you:

“We are finished,

completely ruined!

God has confiscated our land,

taking it from us.

He has given our fields

to those who betrayed us.”

Others will set your boundaries then,

and the Lord’s people will have no say

in how the land is divided.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

In that day they will raise a proverb against you,

and will wail a bitter wailing, saying,

“We are utterly ruined;

he exchanges the portion of my people.

How he removes it from me;

he apportions our field to an apostate.”

Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot

in the assembly of Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot

In the congregation of the Lord.
