6 Someone will seize a family member, saying, "You have clothing! You be our leader!This mess will be your responsibility!"
7 Someone else will cry out on that day,"I’m no healer!I have neither food nor clothing in my house!Don’t make me the leader of the people!"
8 Yes, Jerusalem has stumbledand Judah has fallen,because the way they talk and act in word and deed insults the Lord, defying his brilliant glory.
9 Their bias in judgment gives them away;like Sodom, they display their sins in public.Doom to them, for they have done themselves in!
10 Tell the righteous how blessed they are;they will eat the fruit of their labors.
11 Doom to the wicked; they are evil.What they have done will be done to them.
12 As for my people—oppressors strip themand swindlers rule them.My people—your leaders mislead you and confuse your paths.
