The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
3:1 For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply
and support,
The whole supply of bread,
And the whole supply of water;
3:2The mighty man,
The man of war,
The judge,
The prophet,
The diviner,
The elder,
3:3The captain of fifty,
The honorable man,
The counselor,
The skilled craftsman,
And the clever enchanter.
3:4I will give boys to be their princes,
And children shall rule over them.
3:5The people will be oppressed,
Everyone by another,
And everyone by his neighbor.
The child will behave himself proudly against the old man,
And the base against the honorable.
3:6Indeed 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."
3:7In 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.
3:8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen;
Because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh,
To provoke the eyes of his glory.
3:9The 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.
3:10Tell the righteous "Good!"
For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
3:11Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them;
For the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.
3:12As 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.
3:13Yahweh stands up to contend,
And stands to judge the peoples.
3:14Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people,
And their leaders:
"It is you who have eaten up the vineyard.
The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
3:15What do you mean that you crush my people,
And grind the face of the poor?" says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.
3:16Moreover Yahweh said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes,
Walking to trip as they go,
Jingling ornaments on their feet;
3:17Therefore the Lord bring sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion,
And Yahweh will make their scalps bald."
3:18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces, 3:19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils, 3:20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms, 3:21the signet rings, the nose rings, 3:22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses, 3:23the hand-mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
3:24It 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 girding of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
3:25Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your mighty in the war.
3:26Her gates shall lament and mourn;
And she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
