Warning to the Wicked

11 “How terrible it will be for the wicked!
    Disaster is headed their way,
        because what they did with their hand[a] will be repaid[b] to them.

12 “As for my people, children[c] are their oppressors,
    and women rule over them.
My people, your leaders are misleading you—
    they’re giving you confusing directions.”[d]

When God Goes to Court

13 The Lord is taking his place to argue his case;
    he’s standing up to judge the people.
