For (A)Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because their [a](B)speech and their actions are against the Lord,
To (C)rebel against [b]His glorious presence.
[c]The expression of their faces testifies against them,
And they [d]display their sin like (D)Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to [e]them!
For they have (E)done evil to themselves.
10 Say to the (F)righteous that it will go well for them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him,
For [f](G)what he deserves will be done to him.
12 My people! Their oppressors (H)treat them violently,
And women rule over them.
My people! (I)Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

God Will Judge

13 (J)The Lord arises to contend,
And stands to judge the people.
14 The Lord (K)enters into judgment with the elders and leaders of His people,
“It is you who have [g](L)devoured the vineyard;
The (M)goods stolen from the poor are in your houses.
15 What do you mean by (N)crushing My people
And [h]oppressing the face of the poor?”
Declares the Lord [i]God of armies.

For (A)Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as (B)Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.

Oppression and Luxury Condemned

13 The Lord stands up (G)to [c]plead,
And stands to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“For you have [d]eaten up (H)the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by (I)crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
