10 Tell the righteous that it will go well for them,

for they will eat the fruit of their labor.

11 Woe to the wicked—it will go badly for them,

for what they have done will be done to them.

12 Youths oppress my people,d

and women rule over them.

My people, your leaders mislead you;

they confuse the direction of your paths.e

13 The Lord rises to argue the case

and stands to judge the people.f

14 The Lord brings this charge

against the elders and leaders of his people:g

“You have devastated the vineyard.

The plunder from the poor is in your houses.h

15 Why do you crush my people

and grind the faces of the poor?”

This is the declaration

of the Lord God of Armies.
