Isaiah 3:13

11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
