6. When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand;
7. in that day he shall swear, saying, I will not be a healer for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: do not make me a ruler of the people.
8. For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen because their tongue and their doings have been against the Lord, to irritate the eyes of his majesty.
9. The appearance of their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10. Say unto the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.
11. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for according to the work of his hands it shall be done unto him.
12. The oppressors of my people are many, and women rule over him. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err and twist the way of thy paths.
