“My people!
Children are
Their oppressors.
Women rule
Over them.
O my people!
Your leaders
Mislead you.
They confused
The course of your paths.”
Isaiah rails against the bad leaders in Judah. They mislead his people, the Israelites. They confused them. They led them on the wrong paths. Now however, they are suffering because children are oppressing them. One of the terrible things that happened to them was being ruled by women, since Isaiah considered this an evil thing.
