Isaiah 3
1
For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support,
2
the mighty man,
3
the captain of fifty,
4
I will give boys to be their princes,
5
The people will be oppressed,
6
Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying,
7
In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer;
8
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen;
9
The look of their faces testify against them.
10
Tell the righteous that it will be well with them,
11
Woe to the wicked!
12
As for my people, children are their oppressors,
13
The LORD stands up to contend,
14
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people
15
What do you mean that you crush my people,
16
Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant,
17
therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion,
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;
25
Your men shall fall by the sword,
26
Her gates shall lament and mourn.
