In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
And they declare their sin as aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
bFor they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
And women rule over them.
O My people! aThose who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”
Oppression and Luxury Condemned
