[1]For, behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, doth take awayH5493[H8688] from JerusalemH3389 and from JudahH3063 the stayH4937 and the staffH4938, the whole stayH4937 of breadH3899, and the wholeH3605 stayH4937 of waterH4325,
[2]The mighty manH1368, and the manH376 of warH4421, the judgeH8199[H8802], and the prophetH5030, and the prudentH7080[H8802], and the ancientH2205,
[3]The captainH8269 of fiftyH2572, and the honourableH5375[H8803] manH6440, and the counsellorH3289[H8802], and the cunningH2450 artificerH2791, and the eloquentH995[H8737] oratorH3908.
[4]And I will giveH5414[H8804] childrenH5288 to be their princesH8269, and babesH8586 shall ruleH4910 over themH8799.
[5]And the peopleH5971 shall be oppressedH5065[H8738], every oneH376 by anotherH376, and every oneH376 by his neighbourH7453: the childH5288 shall behave himself proudlyH7292[H8799] against the ancientH2205, and the baseH7034[H8737] against the honourableH3513.[H8737]
[6]When a manH376 shall take holdH8610[H8799] of his brotherH251 of the houseH1004 of his fatherH1, saying, Thou hast clothingH8071, be thou our rulerH7101, and let this ruinH4384 be under thy handH3027:
[7]In that dayH3117 shall he swearH5375[H8799], sayingH559[H8800], I will not be an healerH2280[H8802]; for in my houseH1004 is neither breadH3899 nor clothingH8071: makeH7760[H8799] me not a rulerH7101 of the peopleH5971.
[8]For JerusalemH3389 is ruinedH3782[H8804], and JudahH3063 is fallenH5307[H8804]: because their tongueH3956 and their doingsH4611 are against the LORDH3068, to provokeH4784[H8687] the eyesH5869 of his gloryH3519.
[9]The shewH1971 of their countenanceH6440 doth witness against themH6030[H8804]; and they declareH5046[H8689] their sinH2403 as SodomH5467, they hideH3582[H8765] it not. WoeH188 unto their soulH5315! for they have rewardedH1580[H8804] evil unto themselvesH7451.
[10]SayH559[H8798] ye to the righteousH6662, that it shall be wellH2896 with him: for they shall eatH398[H8799] the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611.
[11]WoeH188 unto the wickedH7563! it shall be illH7451 with him: for the rewardH1576 of his handsH3027 shall be givenH6213 himH8735.
[12]As for my peopleH5971, childrenH5953[H8781] are their oppressorsH5065[H8802], and womenH802 ruleH4910[H8804] over them. O my peopleH5971, they which leadH833[H8764] thee cause thee to errH8582[H8688], and destroyH1104[H8765] the wayH1870 of thy pathsH734.
[13]The LORDH3068 standeth upH5324[H8737] to pleadH7378[H8800], and standethH5975[H8802] to judgeH1777[H8800] the peopleH5971.
[14]The LORDH3068 will enterH935[H8799] into judgmentH4941 with the ancientsH2205 of his peopleH5971, and the princesH8269 thereof: for ye have eaten upH1197[H8765] the vineyardH3754; the spoilH1500 of the poorH6041 is in your housesH1004.
[15]What mean ye that ye beatH1792 my peopleH5971 to piecesH1792[H8762], and grindH2912[H8799] the facesH6440 of the poorH6041? saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
[16]Moreover the LORDH3068 saithH559[H8799], BecauseH3282 the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726 are haughtyH1361[H8804], and walkH3212[H8799] with stretched forthH5186[H8803] necksH1627 and wantonH8265[H8764] eyesH5869, walkingH1980[H8800] and mincingH2952[H8800] as they goH3212[H8799], and making a tinklingH5913[H8762] with their feetH7272:
[17]Therefore the LordH136 will smite with a scabH5596[H8765] the crown of the headH6936 of the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and the LORDH3068 will discoverH6168[H8762] their secret partsH6596.
[18]In that dayH3117 the LordH136 will take awayH5493[H8686] the braveryH8597 of their tinkling ornamentsH5914 about their feet, and their caulsH7636, and their round tires like the moonH7720,
[19]The chainsH5188, and the braceletsH8285, and the mufflersH7479,
[20]The bonnetsH6287, and the ornaments of the legsH6807, and the headbandsH7196, and the tabletsH5315[H1004], and the earringsH3908,
[21]The ringsH2885, and noseH639 jewelsH5141,
[22]The changeable suits of apparelH4254, and the mantlesH4595, and the wimplesH4304, and the crisping pinsH2754,
[23]The glassesH1549, and the fine linenH5466, and the hoodsH6797, and the vailsH7289.
[24]And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smellH1314 there shall be stinkH4716; and instead of a girdleH2290 a rentH5364; and instead of well setH4639 hairH4748 baldnessH7144; and instead of a stomacherH6614 a girdingH4228 of sackclothH8242; and burningH3587 instead of beautyH3308.
[25]Thy menH4962 shall fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719, and thy mightyH1369 in the warH4421.
[26]And her gatesH6607 shall lamentH578[H8804] and mournH56[H8804]; and she being desolateH5352[H8738] shall sitH3427[H8799] upon the groundH776.
