¹² Youths^(A) oppress my people,
    women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;^(B)
    they turn you from the path.

“Listen, you leaders^(A) of Jacob,
    you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,^(A)
they proclaim ‘peace’^(B)
    if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
    who refuses to feed them.

⁹ Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
    you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
    and distort all that is right;^(A)
