⁸For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence.

⁹The look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves. ¹⁰Tell the innocent how fortunate they are, for they shall eat the fruit of their labors. ¹¹Woe to the guilty! How unfortunate they are, for what their hands have done shall be done to them. ¹²My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths. ¹³The Lord rises to argue his case; he stands to judge the peoples. ¹⁴The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of his people: It is you who have devoured the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. ¹⁵What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord God of hosts.
