6 When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
7 In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
8 For aJerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
And they declare their sin as aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10 “Say to the righteous athat it shall be well with them,
bFor they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
bFor they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! aThose who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”
And women rule over them.
O My people! aThose who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”
