8. For Yerushalayim has stumbled, and Yehuḏah has fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against יהוה, to provoke the eyes of His esteem.
9. The look on their faces witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Seḏom; they do not hide it. Woe to their being! For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10. “Say to the righteous it is well, for they eat the fruit of their doings.
11. “Woe to the wrong – evil! For the reward of his hand is done to him.
12. “My people! Youths exert pressure on them, and women rule over them. O My people! Your leaders lead you astray, and swallow the way of your paths.”
13. יהוה shall stand up to plead, and is standing to judge the peoples.
14. יהוה enters into judgment with the elders of His people and its heads, “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15. “What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Master, יהוה of hosts.
