# Isaiah 3 (New King James Version)
|
|
Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 3
|
|
###### 1 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
|
|
Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
|
|
The stock and the store,
|
|
The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;
|
|
|
|
###### 2 The mighty man and the man of war,
|
|
The judge and the prophet,
|
|
And the diviner and the elder;
|
|
|
|
###### 3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
|
|
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
|
|
And the expert enchanter.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "I will give children _to be_ their princes,
|
|
And babes shall rule over them.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 The people will be oppressed,
|
|
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
|
|
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
|
|
And the base toward the honorable."
|
|
|
|
###### 6 When a man takes hold of his brother
|
|
In the house of his father, _saying,_
|
|
"You have clothing;
|
|
You be our ruler,
|
|
And _let_ these ruins _be_ under your power,"
|
|
|
|
###### 7 In that day he will protest, saying,
|
|
"I cannot cure _your_ ills,
|
|
For in my house _is_ neither food nor clothing;
|
|
Do not make me a ruler of the people."
|
|
|
|
###### 8 For Jerusalem stumbled,
|
|
And Judah is fallen,
|
|
Because their tongue and their doings
|
|
_Are_ against the Lord,
|
|
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
|
|
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
|
|
They do not hide _it._
|
|
Woe to their soul!
|
|
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 "Say to the righteous that _it shall be_ well _with them,_
|
|
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Woe to the wicked! _It shall be_ ill _with him,_
|
|
For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 _As for_ My people, children _are_ their oppressors,
|
|
And women rule over them.
|
|
O My people! Those who lead you cause _you_ to err,
|
|
And destroy the way of your paths."Oppression and Luxury Condemned
|
|
|
|
###### 13 The Lord stands up to plead,
|
|
And stands to judge the people.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 The Lord will enter into judgment
|
|
With the elders of His people
|
|
And His princes:
|
|
"For you have eaten up the vineyard;
|
|
The plunder of the poor _is_ in your houses.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 What do you mean by crushing My people
|
|
And grinding the faces of the poor?"
|
|
Says the Lord God of hosts.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Moreover the Lord says:
|
|
"Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
|
|
And walk with outstretched necks
|
|
And wanton eyes,
|
|
Walking and mincing _as_ they go,
|
|
Making a jingling with their feet,
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
|
|
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
|
|
And the Lord will uncover their secret parts."
|
|
|
|
###### 18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
|
|
The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;
|
|
|
|
###### 19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
|
|
|
|
###### 20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
|
|
The perfume boxes, the charms,
|
|
|
|
###### 21 and the rings;
|
|
The nose jewels,
|
|
|
|
###### 22 the festal apparel, and the mantles;
|
|
The outer garments, the purses,
|
|
|
|
###### 23 and the mirrors;
|
|
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 And so it shall be:
|
|
Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
|
|
Instead of a sash, a rope;
|
|
Instead of well-set hair, baldness;
|
|
Instead of a rich robe, a girding 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,
|
|
And she _being_ desolate shall sit on the ground.
