But on that day, he will protest,
“I don’t have a remedy,
I lack food and clothing for my own house;
don’t put me in charge of people!”

they don’t even try to hide it —
all the worse for them! —

    do not make me the leader of the people.”(D)

    Judah is falling;(E)
their words(F) and deeds(G) are against the Lord,
    defying(H) his glorious presence.
The look on their faces testifies(I) against them;
    they parade their sin like Sodom;(J)

    They have brought disaster(K) upon themselves.
