    and houses, and take them away:
    and they oppress a man and his house,
    even a man and his heritage.
  2. 3Therefore Yahweh says:
    “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,
    from which you will not remove your necks,
    neither will you walk haughtily;
    for it is an evil time.
  3. 4In that day they will take up a parable against you,

    My people’s possession is divided up.
    Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’ ”
