21:15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she 1 said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard Naboth the Jezreelite refused to sell you for silver, for Naboth is no longer alive; he’s dead.” 21:16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, 2 he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
2:1 Those who devise sinful plans are as good as dead, 3
those who dream about doing evil as they lie in bed. 4
As soon as morning dawns they carry out their plans, 5
because they have the power to do so.
2:2 They confiscate the fields they desire,
and seize the houses they want. 6
They defraud people of their homes, 7
and deprive people of the land they have inherited. 8
7:3 They are determined to be experts at doing evil; 9
government officials and judges take bribes, 10
prominent men make demands,
and they all do what is necessary to satisfy them. 11
