| [1]For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the rod and the staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water, |
[1]For lo, the Lorde God of hoastes doth take away from Hierusalem and Iuda all maner of stay, all stay of meate and drynke |
| [2]The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, |
[2]The captayne and the souldiour, the iudge and the prophete, the prudent and the aged man |
| [3]The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skillful artificer, and the eloquent orator. |
[3]The captayne of fiftie & the honorable, the senatour, the cunnyng artificer, and the eloquent oratour |
| [4]And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. |
[4]And I shall geue children to be their princes, and babes shall rule ouer them |
| [5]And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable. |
[5]And the people shall eche one of them violently oppresse another, and euery one agaynst his neyghbour: The boy shall presume agaynst the elder, and the person of lowe degree agaynst the honorable |
| [6]When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: |
[6]Yea one shall take a friende of his owne kinrede by the bosome, and say: thou hast clothyng, thou shalt be our head, and stay this ruine with thy hande |
| [7]In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people. |
[7]Then shall he sweare and say, I can not helpe you: there is neither meate nor clothyng in my house, make me no ruler of the people |
| [8]For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. |
[8]For Hierusalem and Iuda must decay: because that both their wordes and counsayles are agaynst the Lorde to prouoke the presence of his maiestie to anger |
| [9]The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves. |
[9]Their very countenaunce bewrayeth the, yea they declare their owne sinnes [themselues] as Sodome, they hide it not: Wo be to their owne soules, for they haue rewarded euyll vnto them selues |
| [10]Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. |
[10]Say to the ryghteous that it shall go well with them: for they shall eate the fruite of their owne studies |
| [11]Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. |
[11][But] wo be vnto the wicked, for it shalbe euyll with hym: for he shalbe rewarded after his owne workes |
| [12]As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. |
[12]Children are extortioners of my people, and women rule ouer them: O my people, thy leaders deceaue thee, and corrupt the way of thy footsteppes |
| [13]The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. |
[13]The Lorde is here to commune of the matter, & standeth to iudge the people |
| [14]The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. |
[14]The Lorde shall enter into iudgement with the elders and princes of his people, [and shall say to them:] It is ye that haue burnt vp my vineyarde, the spoyle of the poore is in your houses |
| [15]What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. |
[15]What meane ye that ye bray [as in a morter] my people, and grinde the faces of the poore? saith the Lorde God of hoastes |
| [16]Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with extended necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: |
[16]Moreouer the Lord hath said, seing the daughters of Sion are waxen proude, & walke with stretched foorth neckes, and wanton lokes, goyng and trippyng nicely, and tinckelyng with their feete |
| [17]Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their secret parts. |
[17]Therfore shall the Lorde shaue the heades of the daughters of Sion, and shall discouer their filthinesse |
| [18]In that day the Lord will take away the show of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon. |
[18]In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgiousnesse of the attire about their feete, & the caules, and the rounde tires [after the fashion of the moone. |
| [19]The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, |
[19]The sweete perfumes, and the bracelettes, and the mufflers |
| [20]The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings, |
[20]The bonnettes, and the sloppes, and the head bandes, and the tablettes, and the earynges |
| [21]The rings, and nose-jewels, |
[21]And rynges, and nose iewels |
| [22]The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins, |
[22]The costly apparell, and the vayles, and the wimples, & the crispyng pinnes |
| [23]The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. |
[23]And the glasses, and the fine linnen, and the hoodes, and the lawnes |
| [24]And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be an offensive odor; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. |
[24]And in steade of good smell there shalbe stincke, and in steade of their girdle a rent, and for well set heere there shalbe baldnesse, in steade of a stomacher a sacke cloth, & [sunne] burnyng for beautie |
| [25]Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. |
[25]Thy men shal perishe with the sword, and thy valiaunt souldiours in the battayle [O Hierusalem. |
| [26]And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate, shall sit upon the ground. |
[26]And her gates shall mourne and bewayle: and she deyng desolate, shall syt vpon the grounde |
