will come with judgment
Judgment is spoken of as if it were an object that one could bring to another person. Alternate translation: "will announce his judgment" or "will declare his judgment" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
You have ruined the vineyard

Alternate translation: "My people are like a vineyard, and you have ruined it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
the plunder from the poor is in your houses
"the things you have taken from the poor are in your houses"
