    and houses, and take them.
They defraud people of their homes,
    they rob them of their inheritance.

‘I am planning disaster against this people,
    from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
    for it will be a time of calamity.

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