11 But I am welling up with His anger.
    I’m too tired to try to hold it in any longer.

Eternal One: Pour it out on children playing in the streets,
        on young men meeting together.
    Husbands and wives, old and even the very old—
        let each of them know they will be taken.
12     Their homes will be seized and lived in by others;
        so, too, will their fields and wives be taken from them and given to others when I reach out against the people of this land.

13     Greed has corrupted this culture, from the least to the greatest:
        all are tainted with this lust for what they don’t deserve.
    The prophets and priests are no better.
        Their lives reek with deceit.

    all(H) are greedy for gain;(I)
prophets and priests alike,
    all practice deceit.(J)
