Isaiah 3:12–13

12 Youths oppress my people,

women rule over them.

My people, your guides lead you astray;

they turn you from the path.

13 The Lord takes his place in court;

he rises to judge the people.

12 My people—infants are their oppressors,

and women rule over them.

O my people, your guides mislead you

and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.

13 The Lord has taken his place to contend;

he stands to judge peoples.

12 Childish leaders oppress my people,

and women rule over them.

O my people, your leaders mislead you;

they send you down the wrong road.

13 The Lord takes his place in court

and presents his case against his people!

12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,

And women rule over them.

O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,

And destroy the way of your paths.”

13 The Lord stands up to plead,

And stands to judge the people.

12 Children treat my people cruelly,

and women rule over them.

My people, your guides lead you in the wrong way

and turn you away from what is right.

13 The Lord takes his place in court

and stands to judge the people.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13 Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people! they that guide thee mislead thee, and destroy the way of thy paths. 13 Jehovah setteth himself to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.

12 “Children will oppress my people. 

Women will rule them. 

My people, your guides mislead you, 

and you don’t know which way to go.” 

13 The Lord takes his place in the courtroom. 

He stands to judge his people. 

12 Youths oppress My people,

and women rule over them.

My people, your leaders mislead you;

they confuse the direction of your paths.

13 The Lord rises to argue the case

and stands to judge the people.

12 My people—their oppressors extort them,

and creditors rule over them.

O my people, your leaders mislead you

and confuse the course of your paths.

13 The Lord rises to argue his case;

he stands to judge the peoples.

12 My people—children are their oppressors,

and women rule over them.

My people, your leaders are misleading you,

and they confuse the course of your paths.

13 Yahweh takes his stand to conduct a legal case

and takes his stand to judge the peoples.

12 Those who are young crush my people.

Women rule over them.

My people, your leaders have taken you down the wrong path.

They have turned you away from the right path.

13 The Lord takes his place in court.

He stands up to judge the people.

12 O My people! Their oppressors are children,

And women rule over them.

O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray

And confuse the direction of your paths.

13 The Lord arises to contend,

And stands to judge the people.
