SCRIPTURE

"And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah." — Jeremiah 6:12 (ASV)

Turned - Violently transferred. Houses, fields, wives, all they most valued, and most jealously kept to themselves - are gone.
