12 O My people! Their taskmasters are ainfants,
And women rule over them.
O My people! bThose who guide you lead you astray
And swallow up the way of your paths.
13 aYahweh takes His stand to contend,
And stands to judge the peoples.
14 Yahweh aenters into judgment with the elders of His people and His princes,
“It is you who have bconsumed the vineyard;
The cplunder robbed of the afflicted is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by acrushing My people
And grinding the face of the afflicted?”
Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
