And alament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the1 heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To1 a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”
Lying Prophets
So they shall not prophesy1 to you;
1They shall not return insult for insult.
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.
For this is not your arest;
Because it is bdefiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will1 prophesy to you of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the aprattler of this people.
Israel Restored
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together blike sheep of the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
cThey shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
aTheir king will pass before them,
bWith the Lord at their head.”
