¹² O My people! Their taskmasters ^[a]are ^(A)infants,
And women rule over them.
O My people! ^(B)Those who guide you lead you astray
And swallow up the way of your paths.

“Even the ^(A)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be granted escape;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will ^(B)save your sons.

³⁴ Their ^(A)Redeemer is strong, ^(B)Yahweh of hosts is His name;
He will vigorously ^(C)plead their case
So that He may ^(D)bring relief to ^[a]the earth,
But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon.
