13
ADONAI rises to accuse, he stands to judge the peoples.
14
ADONAI presents the indictment against the leaders and officers of his people: "It is you who devour the vineyard; in your houses is plunder taken from the poor.
15
What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding down the faces of the poor?" says Adonai ELOHIM-Tzva'ot.
16
Moreover ADONAI says: "Because Tziyon's women are so proud, walking with their heads in the air and throwing seductive glances, moving with mincing steps and jingling their anklets
17
Adonai will strike the crown of the heads of Tziyon's women with sores, and ADONAI will expose their private parts."
