11 But I am full with the wrath of Yahweh,
    I struggle to hold it[a] in.
Pour it out on the children[b] in the street,
    and on the assemblies[c] of young men at the same time.
For even husband with wife will get trapped,
    the old with him who is full of days.
12 And their houses will be turned over to others,
    their fields and their wives together.
For I will stretch out my hand
    against the inhabitants of the land,” declares[d] Yahweh.
13 “For from the smallest of them to the greatest of them,
    everyone[e] makes profit for unlawful gain.
And from the prophet to the priest,
    everyone[f] practices deceit.
