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 Jerusalem has stumbled,
    and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
    defying his glorious presence.(A)

The look on their faces bears witness against them;
    they proclaim their sin like Sodom;
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them,
    for they have brought evil on themselves.(B)
10 Tell the innocent how fortunate they are,
    for they shall eat the fruit of their labors.(C)
11 Woe to the guilty! How unfortunate they are,
    for what their hands have done shall be done to them.(D)
12 My people—their oppressors extort them,
    and creditors[a] rule over them.
O my people, your leaders mislead you
    and confuse the course of your paths.(E)

13 The Lord rises to argue his case;
    he stands to judge the peoples.(F)
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.(G)
15 What do you mean by crushing my people,
    by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord God of hosts.(H)
