The leaders, etc

O My people! Their oppressors are children,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’

Led of them
