8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen because their tongue and their doings have been against the Lord, to irritate the eyes of his majesty.
9 The appearance of their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Say unto the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for according to the work of his hands it shall be done unto him.
12 The oppressors of my people are many, and women rule over him. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err and twist the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord stands up to litigate and is present to judge the peoples.
14 The Lord will come with judgment against the elders of his people and against these his princes, for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
