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. 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. 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.

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? 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. 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. 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.

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.

1 那些在床上图谋不义， 并且行恶的人有祸了！ 因为他们的手有力量， 天一亮， 就作出来了。

2 他们要田地， 就去抢夺； 想要房屋， 就去强取。他们欺压人和他的家眷， 取人和人的产业。

3 因此耶和华这样说： 看哪！ 我策划灾祸攻击这家族， 你们无法缩起颈项避开这灾祸。你们不能昂首而行（"昂首而行"或译： "高视阔步"）； 因为这是个灾难的时代。

4 到那日， 必有人作歌讽刺你们， 唱悲伤的哀歌， 说： "我们彻底被毁灭了， 我子民分内的产业， 他竟转给别人了； 他怎可从我这里挪去， 把我们的田地分给掳掠我们的人（"分给掳掠我们的人"或译： "分给背道的人"）！ "

5 因此你在耶和华的会众中， 必没有抽签拉准绳的人了。

6 有人预言说： "你们不要说预言； 人不可预言这些事； 羞耻不会临到我们。"

7 雅各家啊！ 人怎可说： "耶和华的心着急， 不能忍耐呢？这些是他的作为吗？"我耶和华的话对行事正直的人不是有益的吗？

8 你们却像仇敌一样， 起来攻击我的子民（"你们却像仇敌一样， 起来攻击我的子民"或译： "然而， 我的子民竟兴起来像仇敌一样"）； 你们竟从安详过路的人身上剥去衣服， 从不愿作战的人身上剥去外衣。

9 你们把我民中的妇女赶逐， 离开欢乐的家园； 你们把我的尊荣， 从她们的婴孩身上夺去， 直到永远。

10 起来， 走吧！ 这不是你们安息之地； 你们因为不洁净的缘故， 必被毁灭， 是不可挽救的毁灭。

11 若有人随从虚假的心， 撒谎说： "我要向你们说清酒和烈酒的预言。"那人就是这民的预言家了。

12 雅各家啊！ 我必召集你们所有的人， 聚集以色列的余民； 我要把他们安置在一起， 像羊在羊圈里， 像群羊远离了人， 在草场上喧哗。

13 开路的人领先上去； 他们开路， 闯门进入， 又从门里出来； 他们的王在他们面前走过， 耶和华领导他们。
