1 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.

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,

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

The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

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

The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skillful artificer, and the eloquent orator.

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

And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

5 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.

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.

6 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.

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:

7 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.

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.

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.

9 [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.

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.

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

Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

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

12 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.

[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.

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

The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

14 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.

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.

15 (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.

What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD God of hosts.

16 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.

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:

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

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.

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

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.

19 The pendants and the bracelets and the veils.

The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

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

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,

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

The rings, and nose-jewels,

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

The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,

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

The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

24 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.

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.

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

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

And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
