14 The Lord enters into judgment

against the elders and leaders of his people:

“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;

the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

15 What do you mean by crushing my people

and grinding the faces of the poor?”

declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof:

For ye have eaten up the vineyard;

The spoil of the poor is in your houses.

15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces,

And grind the faces of the poor?

Saith the Lord God of hosts.

14 The Lord comes forward to pronounce judgment

on the elders and rulers of his people:

“You have ruined Israel, my vineyard.

Your houses are filled with things stolen from the poor.

15 How dare you crush my people,

grinding the faces of the poor into the dust?”

demands the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment

With the elders of His people

And His princes:

“For you have eaten up the vineyard;

The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 What do you mean by crushing My people

And grinding the faces of the poor?”

Says the Lord God of hosts.

14 The Lord presents his case

against the elders and other leaders of his people:

“You have burned the vineyard.

Your houses are full of what you took from the poor.

15 What gives you the right to crush my people

and grind the faces of the poor into the dirt?”

The Lord God All-Powerful says this.

14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: 15 what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their princes, saying: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard: the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15 What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the faces of the afflicted? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

14 The Lord presents his case to the respected leaders 

and the officials of his people: 

“You have burned down the vineyard! 

Your houses are filled with goods stolen from the poor.” 

15 The Almighty Lord of Armies asks, 

“How can you crush my people 

and grind the faces of the poor ⸤into the ground⸥?” 

14 The Lord brings this charge

against the elders and leaders of His people:

“You have devastated the vineyard.

The plunder from the poor is in your houses.

15 Why do you crush My people

and grind the faces of the poor?”

This is the declaration

of the Lord God of Hosts.

14 The Lord enters into judgment

with the elders and princes of his people:

It is you who have devoured the vineyard;

the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

15 What do you mean by crushing my people,

by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord God of hosts.

14 Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of his people and its princes.

“And you! You have devoured the vineyard;

the spoil of the poor is in your houses!

15 Why do you crush my people

and grind the face of the poor?”

declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.

14 He judges the elders and leaders of his people.

He says to them,

“My people are like a vineyard.

You have destroyed them.

The things you have taken from poor people are in your houses.

15 What do you mean by crushing my people?

Why are you grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?”

announces the Lord.

He is the Lord who rules over all.

14 The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,

“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;

The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 “What do you mean by crushing My people

And grinding the face of the poor?”

Declares the Lord God of hosts.
