²¹ “Under three things the earth trembles,
    under four it cannot bear up:
²² a servant who becomes king,^(A)
    a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,

⁴ “I will make mere youths their officials;
    children will rule over them.”^(A)

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