¹³ They break up my path;
    they promote my ^(A)calamity;
    they need no one to help them.

¹² My people—^(A)infants are their oppressors,
    and women rule over them.
O my people, ^(B)your guides mislead you
    and they have swallowed up^[a] the course of your paths.

²⁶ For they ^(A)persecute him whom ^(B)you have struck down,
    and they recount the pain of ^(C)those you have wounded.
