¡Ay de los opresores!
¡Ay de los que planean la iniquidad,los que traman el mal en sus camasa!Al clarear1 la mañana lo ejecutanb,porque está en el poder de sus manosc.2 Codiciana campos y se apoderan de ellosb,casas, y las toman.Roban1 al dueño2 y a su casa,al hombre y a su heredadc.3 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR:He aquí, estoy planeando traer contra esta familiaa un maldel cual no libraréis vuestro cuellob,ni andaréis erguidosc;porque será un tiempo malod.4 En aquel día se dirá1 contra vosotros un refrán2ay se proferirá3 una amargab lamentación, diciendo:«Hemos sido totalmente destruidosc;Él ha cambiado la porción de mi pueblo.¡Cómo me la ha quitado!Al infiel4 ha repartido nuestros camposd».5 Por tanto, no habrá quién eche para vosotros1el cordel en el sorteoen la asamblea del SEÑORa.
6 «No profeticéis1» dicen, y profetizan2a.Aunque ellos3 no profeticen4 acerca de estas cosasb,no serán retenidos los reprochesc.7 ¿No se dice, oh casa de Jacob:«Es impaciente el Espíritu del SEÑORa?¿Sonestas sus obras?».¿No hacen bien mis palabrasbal que camina rectamentec?8 Hace poco1 mi pueblo se ha levantado como enemigoa.De sobre las vestiduras arrebatáis el manto2ba los que pasan confiados,a los que vuelven de la guerrac.9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo arrojáisade la casa de sus delicias;de sus hijos arrebatáis mi gloria para siempreb.10 Levantaos y marchad,pues este no es lugar de descansoapor la impureza que trae destrucción,destrucción dolorosab.11 Si un hombre, andando tras el viento y la falsedad,hablara mentirasa, diciendo:«Os hablaré1 del vino y del licorb»,ese sería el profeta2 para este puebloc.
12 Ciertamente os reuniré a todos1a, oh Jacob,ciertamente recogeré al remanente de Israelb,los agruparé como ovejas en el aprisco;como rebaño en medio de su pastizal,harán estruendo por la multitud de hombres.13 El que abre brecha subirá delante de ellos;abrirán brecha, pasarán la puerta y saldrán por ella;su rey pasará delante de ellos,y el SEÑOR a su cabeza.
Woe to Oppressors
Woe to those who adevise wrongdoing,Who practice evil on their beds!1bWhen morning comes, they do it,Because it is in the cpower of their hands.2 They acovet fields, so they bseize them;And houses, so they take them.They 1cexploit a man and his house,A person and his inheritance.

Therefore this is what the LORD says:Behold, I am aplanning against this bfamily a catastropheFrom which you ccannot remove your necks;And you will not walk dhaughtily,For it will be an eevil time.

4 “On that day they will atake up against you a 1song of mockingAnd 2butter a song of mourning and say,‘We are completely cdestroyed!He exchanges the share of my people;How He removes it from me!To the apostate He dapportions our fields.’5 Therefore you will have no one 1aapplying a measuring lineFor you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
6 aDo not prophesy,’ so they prophesy.But if 1they do bnot prophesy about these things,cInsults will not be turned back.7 “Is it being said, house of Jacob:‘Is the Spirit of the LORD aimpatient?Are these His works?’Do My words not bdo goodFor the one cwalking rightly?8 1Recently My people have arisen as an aenemyYou bstrip the robe off the garmentFrom cunsuspecting passers-by,From those returned from war.9 “You aevict the women of My people,Each one from her pleasant house.From her children you take My bsplendor forever.10 Arise and go,For this is no place aof restBecause of the buncleanness that brings on destruction,A painful destruction.11 If someone walking after wind and afalsehoodHad lied and said,‘I will prophesy to you about bwine and liquor,’He would become a prophet to cthis people.
12 “I will certainly aassemble all of you, Jacob,I will certainly gather the bremnant of Israel.I will put them together like sheep in the fold;Like a flock in the midst of its pastureThey will be noisy with people.13 “The one who breaks through goes up before them;They break through, pass through the gate, and go out by it.So their king passes on before them,And the LORD at their head.”
Woe to Oppressors
Woe (judgment is coming) to those who adevise wickednessAnd plot evil on their beds!bWhen morning comes, they practice evilBecause it is in the cpower of their hands.2 They acovet fields and bseize them,And houses, and take them away.They coppress and rob a man and his house,A man and his inheritance. Is 5:8; Ex 20:17; Lev 25:23ff.

Therefore, thus says the LORD,“Behold, I am aplanning against this bfamily a disaster (exile)Like a noose from which you ccannot remove your necks;Nor will you be able to walk dhaughtily and erect,For it will be an eevil time of subjugation to the invaders.

4 “On that day they shall atake up a taunting, deriding parable against youAnd bwail with a doleful and bitter song of mourning and say,‘We are completely cdestroyed!God exchanges the inheritance of my people;How He removes it from me!He ddivides our fields to the rebellious our captors.’5 “Therefore, you will have no one astretching a measuring line dividing the common landFor you by lot in the assembly of the LORD. Rev 21:27
6 aDo not speak out,’ so they speak out.But if they do bnot speak out concerning these things,cReproaches will not be turned back.7 “Is it being said, O house of Jacob:‘Is the Spirit of the LORD aimpatient?Or are these prophesied judgments His doings?’Do not My words bdo goodTo the one cwalking uprightly?8 “But lately My people have stood up as an aenemy and have made Me their antagonist.You bstrip the ornaments off the garmentOf those cunsuspecting passers-by,Like those returned from war.9 “You aevict the women (widows) of My people,Each one from her pleasant house;From her young, fatherless children you take away My bsplendor and blessing forever by putting them among the pagans, away from Me.10 “Arise and depart because the captivity is inevitable,For this land is not the place aof restBecause of the bdefilement that brings destruction,A painful and terrible destruction.11 “If a man walking in a afalse spirit spouting deceptionShould lie and say,‘I will prophesy to you O Israel of bwine and liquor (greed, sensual pleasure) ,’He would be the acceptable spokesman of cthis people. Jer 5:31
12 “I shall most certainly aassemble all of you, O Jacob;I shall surely gather the bremnant of Israel.I shall bring them together like sheep in the fold multiplying the nation;Like a flock in the midst of its pasture.The place will swarm with many people and hum loudly with noise.13 “The 1breaker the Messiah, who opens the way shall go up before them liberating them.They will break out, pass through the gate and go out;So their King goes on before them,The LORD at their head.” Ex 23:20, 21; 33:14; Is 63:8, 9; Hos 3:5; Amos 9:11
Woe to Oppressors
Woe to those who ascheme iniquity,Who work out evil on their beds!1bWhen morning comes, they do it,For it is in the cpower of their hands.2 They acovet fields and then bseize them,And houses, and take them away.They 1crob a man and his house,A man and his inheritance.

Therefore thus says the LORD,Behold, I am aplanning against this bfamily a calamityFrom which you ccannot remove your necks;And you will not walk dhaughtily,For it will be an eevil time.

4 “On that day they will atake up against you a 1tauntAnd 2butter a bitter lamentation and say,‘We are completely cdestroyed!He exchanges the portion of my people;How He removes it from me!To the apostate He dapportions our fields.’5 Therefore you will have no one 1astretching a measuring lineFor you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
6 aDo not 1speak out,’ so they 2speak out.But if 3they do bnot 4speak out concerning these things,cReproaches will not be turned back.7 “Is it being said, O house of Jacob:‘Is the Spirit of the LORD aimpatient?Are these His doings?’Do not My words bdo goodTo the one cwalking uprightly?8 1Recently My people have arisen as an aenemyYou bstrip the 2robe off the garmentFrom cunsuspecting passers-by,From those returned from war.9 “The women of My people you aevict,Each one from her pleasant house.From her children you take My bsplendor forever.10 Arise and go,For this is no place aof restBecause of the buncleanness that brings on destruction,A painful destruction.11 If a man walking after wind and afalsehoodHad told lies and said,‘I will 1speak out to you concerning bwine and liquor,’He would be 2spokesman to cthis people.
12 “I will surely aassemble all of you, Jacob,I will surely gather the bremnant of Israel.I will put them together like sheep in the fold;Like a flock in the midst of its pastureThey will be noisy with men.13 “The breaker goes up before them;They break out, pass through the gate and go out by it.So their king goes on before them,And the LORD at their head.”
