That is why the Lord says:

“Look, I am planning ·trouble [disaster] against such people,
    ·and you won’t be able to save yourselves [L from which you cannot remove your necks; C like a yoke].
You will no longer walk ·proudly [arrogantly],
    because it will be a ·terrible time [time of calamity/catastrophe/evil].
·At that time [L In that day] people will ·make fun of [ridicule; sing a taunt against] you
    and ·sing this sad song [L lament with a lamentation] about you:
‘We are completely ·ruined [destroyed];
    the Lord has taken away my people’s ·land [possession; inheritance].
Yes, he has taken it away from me
    and divided our fields among ·our enemies [renegades; or the traitors]!’”
So you will have no one from the Lord’s ·people [assembly]
    to throw lots to divide the land.

Therefore, the Lord says:

“I am planning disaster(A) against this people,
    from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,(B)
    for it will be a time of calamity.
In that day people will ridicule you;
    they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;(C)
    my people’s possession is divided up.(D)
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(E) by lot.(F)
