3:13 Yahweh judges his people

13 Yahweh is getting ready to make his case

and is standing ready to judge the peoples.

14 He will come to pronounce judgement on the elders of his people and their leaders:

“Yes, all of you, you’ve taken all the fruit from the vineyard—

the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

15 Why do you crush my people

and rub the poor people’s faces into the ground?”

That’s the declaration of my master, Commander-in-chief Yahweh.
