3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, against this ^afamily I am devising ^bdisaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time. ‡

4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
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.’ ” ‡
