12 My people—(A)infants are their oppressors,
    and women rule over them.
O my people, (B)your guides mislead you
    and they have swallowed up[a] the course of your paths.

13 The Lord (C)has taken his place to contend;
    he stands to judge peoples.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
    with the (D)elders and princes of his people:
“It is you who (E)have devoured[b] the vineyard,
    (F)the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
