Isaiah 3

1 For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;

For here! the lord Yahweh of hosts [is] about to remove from Jerusalem and from Judah support and support every support of food and every support of water.

2 The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;

Warrior and man of war judge and prophet and diviner and elder.

3 The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.

Commander of fifty and [one] uplifted of face and counselor and skillful [one] of magic arts and understanding [one] of charming.

4 And I will make children their chiefs, and foolish ones will have rule over them.

And I will make youths leaders their and wantonness they will rule over them.

5 And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.

And it will oppress the people each a person and each neighbor his they will act insolently the youth[s] in the old [person] and the lightly esteemed in the honored.

6 When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:

For he will seize each brother his [the] house of father his a cloak [belongs] to you a ruler you will be of us and the heap of ruins this [will be] under hand your.

7 Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.

He will lift up in the day that - saying not I will be a wrapper and in house my there not [is] food and there not [is] a cloak not you must appoint me a ruler of [the] people.

8 For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

For it has stumbled Jerusalem and Judah it has fallen for tongue their and deeds their [are] against Yahweh to rebel toward [the] eyes of glory his.

9 Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

[the] expression of Faces their it has testified against them and sin their like Sodom they have declared not they have hidden [it] woe! to self their for they have done to themselves harm.

10 Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways.

Tell [the] righteous that good for [the] fruit of deeds their they will eat.

11 Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.

Woe! to [the] wicked it will be bad for [the] dealing of hands his it will be done to him.

12 As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.

People my oppressors its [is] acting like children and women they have ruled over it O people my guides your [are] misleading and [the] way of paths your they have confused.

13 The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.

[is] taking his stand To conduct a case Yahweh and [is] standing to judge peoples.

14 The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.

Yahweh in judgment he will come with [the] elders of people his and leaders its and you you have consumed the vineyard [the] plunder of the poor [is] in houses your.

15 By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.

(What [is] to you? *Q(K)*) you crush people my and [the] faces of poor [people] you grind [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.

16 Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:

And he said Yahweh because that they are haughty [the] daughters of Zion and they have walked (stretched out *Q(k)*) of neck and making seductive glances of eyes walking and mincing along they walk and on feet their they tinkle with anklets.

17 The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.

And he will make scabby [the] Lord scalp of [the] daughters of Zion and Yahweh forehead their he will lay bare.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,

In the day that he will remove [the] Lord [the] splendor of the anklets and the amulets and the ornaments.

19 The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing,

The pendants and the bracelets and the veils.

20 The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,

The head-dresses and the ankle chains and the sashes and [the] houses of the breath and the amulets.

21 The rings, and the nose-jewels,

The signet-rings and [the] rings of the nose.

22 The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags,

The robes and the over-tunics and the cloaks and the purses.

23 The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, and the veils.

And the mirrors and the linen garments and the headdresses and the shawls.

24 And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

And it will be in place of perfume rottenness it will be and in place of a belt a rope and in place of a work well-set hair baldness and in place of a robe a girding of sackcloth branding in place of beauty.

25 Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.

Men your by the sword they will fall and strength your in battle.

26 And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.

And they will lament and they will mourn gates its and it will be emptied to the ground it will sit.
