On that day they will (A)take up against you a [a]song of mocking
And [b](B)utter a song of mourning and say,
‘We are completely (C)destroyed!
He exchanges the share of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He (D)apportions our fields.’
Therefore you will have no one [c](E)applying a measuring line
For you by lot in the assembly of the Lord.

(F)Do not prophesy,’ so they prophesy.
But if [d]they do (G)not prophesy about these things,
(H)Insults will not be turned back.

‘We are utterly ruined;(A)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(B)
He takes it from me!
    He assigns our fields to traitors.’”

Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord
    to divide the land(C) by lot.(D)
