## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Land Robbers Will Lose Their Land
[[#Verse 01.]] Beware wicked schemers,
those who devise calamity as they lie in bed.
As soon as morning dawns they carry out their plans,
because they have the power to do so.
[[#Verse 02.]] They confiscate the fields they desire
and seize the houses they want.
They defraud people of their homes
and deprive people of the land they have inherited.
[[#Verse 03.]] Therefore the Lord says this:
“Look, I am devising disaster for this nation!
It will be like a yoke from which you cannot free your neck.
You will no longer walk proudly,
for it will be a time of catastrophe.
[[#Verse 04.]] In that day people will sing this taunt song to you—
they will mock you with this lament:
‘We are completely destroyed;
they sell off the property of my people.
How they remove it from me!
They assign our fields to the conqueror.’”
[[#Verse 05.]] Therefore no one will assign you land in the Lord’s community.
[[#Verse 06.]] “Don’t preach with such impassioned rhetoric,” they say excitedly.
“These prophets should not preach of such things;
we will not be overtaken by humiliation.”
[[#Verse 07.]] Does the family of Jacob say,
“The Lord’s patience can’t be exhausted—
he would never do such things”?
To be sure, my commands bring a reward
for those who obey them,
[[#Verse 08.]] but you rise up as an enemy against my people.
You steal a robe from a friend,
from those who pass by peacefully as if returning from a war.
[[#Verse 09.]] You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes.
You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.
[[#Verse 10.]] But you are the ones who will be forced to leave!
For this land is not secure;
sin will thoroughly destroy it!
[[#Verse 11.]] If a lying windbag should come and say,
‘I’ll promise you blessings of wine and beer,’
he would be just the right preacher for these people!
### The Lord Will Restore His People
[[#Verse 12.]] “I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob,
I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain.
I will bring them together like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in the middle of a pasture;
they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise.
[[#Verse 13.]] The one who can break through barriers will lead them out;
they will break out, pass through the gate, and leave.
Their king will advance before them;
the Lord himself will lead them.”
