¹⁶ Woe to the land whose king was a servant^[a](A)
    and whose princes feast in the morning.

¹² Youths^(A) oppress my people,
    women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;^(B)
    they turn you from the path.

¹¹ Woe^(A) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.^(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes^(C) and timbrels^(D) and wine,
but they have no regard^(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.^(F)

⁴ “I will make mere youths their officials;
    children will rule over them.”^(A)

⁵ People will oppress each other—
    man against man, neighbor against neighbor.^(B)
The young will rise up against the old,
    the nobody against the honored.
