长老何罪之有?答:神审问长老,正为他们不曾责备首领的恶行。

长老——就是那一代的众贤——又作了什么,算得上是罪呢?
what did the Elders, i.e., the Sages of that generation, do that was considered a sin?

倒不如说:神所以要审问长老,是因为他们不曾责备首领们的恶行。
Rather, say: God will enter into judgment with the Elders because they did not protest the sinful conduct of the princes.
