33:001:016 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children;
enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into
captivity from thee.
33:002:001 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their
beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it
is in the power of their hand.
33:002:002 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses,
and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even
a man and his heritage.
33:002:003 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do
I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks;
neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
33:002:004 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and
lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly
spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he
removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
33:002:005 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot
in the congregation of the LORD.
33:002:006 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall
not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
33:002:007 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the
LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good

33:002:008 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off
the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as
men averse from war.
33:002:009 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant
houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for
ever.
33:002:010 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is
polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
33:002:011 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I
will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall
even be the prophet of this people.
33:002:012 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely
gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the
sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they
shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
33:002:013 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and
have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and
their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of
them.
33:003:001 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes
of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
33:003:002 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin
