Rh :Neither shall ye go haughtily:
 * For this time is evil.


 * 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.
 * Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot
 * In the congregation of the Lord.
 * Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy:
 * They shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
 * 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 to him that walketh uprightly?
 * 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.
 * The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses;
 * From their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
