7. You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,‘Does the Lord become impatient?Does he do such things?’‘Do not my words do goodto the one whose ways are upright?
8. Lately my people have risen uplike an enemy.You strip off the rich robefrom those who pass by without a care,like men returning from battle.
9. You drive the women of my peoplefrom their pleasant homes.You take away my blessingfrom their children for ever.
10. Get up, go away!For this is not your resting place,because it is defiled,it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11. If a liar and deceiver comes and says,“I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,”that would be just the prophet for this people!
