We are completely ruined!

And given it to those who took us captive.”b
5So then, when the time comes for the land to be given back to the Lord’s people, there will be no share for any of you.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
In that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
he changes the portion of my people;
how he removes it from me!
To an apostate he allots our fields.”
Therefore you will have none to cast the line by lot
in the assembly of the Lord.

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.
