8 For Jerusalem has stumbled

and Judah has fallen

because they have spoken and acted against the Lord,z

defying his glorious presence.a

9 The look on their faces testifies against them,

and like Sodom,b they flaunt their sin;

they do not conceal it.

Woe to them,

for they have brought disaster on themselves.c

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
