Isaiah Chapter 3
|
|||
|
|
1 For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
|
|||
|
|
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
|
|||
|
|
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
|
|||
|
|
4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
|
|||
|
|
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.
|
|||
|
|
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
|
|||
|
|
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
|
|||
|
|
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
|
|||
|
|
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
|
|||
|
|
10 Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
|
|||
|
|
11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
|
|||
|
|
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
|
|||
|
|
13 Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
|
|||
|
|
14 Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
|
|||
|
|
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
|
|||
|
|
16 Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
|
|||
|
|
17 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”
|
|||
|
|
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
|
|||
|
|
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
|
|||
|
|
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
|
|||
|
|
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
|
|||
|
|
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
|
|||
|
|
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
|
|||
|
|
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
|
|||
|
|
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
|
|||
|
|
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
