3:13 The Lord takes his position to judge;

he stands up to pass sentence on his people. ¹ 

3:14 The Lord comes to pronounce judgment

on the leaders of his people and their officials.

He says, ²  “It is you ³  who have ruined ⁴  the vineyard! ⁵ 

You have stashed in your houses what you have stolen from the poor. ⁶ 

3:15 Why do you crush my people

and grind the faces of the poor?” ⁷ 

The sovereign Lord who commands armies ⁸  has spoken.
