2: And they covetH2530 fields,H7704 and take [them] by violence-H1497 and houses,H1004 and seize [them]-H5375 so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004 and a manH0376 and his inheritance.H5159

8: and LatelyH0865 My peopleH5971 as an enemy-H0341 have risen upH6965 withH4136 the garmentH8008 the magnificenceH0145 You pull offH6584 from as they pass byH5674 those who trust [you]H0983 Like men returned fromH7725 war.H4421

11: IfH3863 a manH0376 should walkH1980 in a spiritH7307 and falseH8267 and speak a lie,H3576 [saying] I will prophesyH5197 of wineH3196 and drink-H7941 and Even he would beH1961 the prattlerH5197 of peopleH5971 this.H2088

12: SurelyH0622 I will assembleH0622 Jacob,H3290 all of youH3605 surelyH6908 I will gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of Israel-H3478 togetherH3162 I will put themH7760 like sheepH6629 of the fold,H1223 Like a flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their pasture-H1699 they shall make a loud noiseH1949 because of [so many] people.H0120
