For, behold, the Lord,{H113} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} doth take away{H5493} from Jerusalem{H3389} and from Judah{H3063} stay{H4937} and staff,{H4938} the whole stay{H4937} of bread,{H3899} and the whole{H3605} stay{H4937} of water;{H4325}

the mighty man,{H1368} and the man{H376} of war;{H4421} the judge,{H8199} and the prophet,{H5030} and the diviner,{H7080} and the elder;{H2205}

the captain{H8269} of fifty,{H2572} and the honorable{H5375} man,{H6440} and the counsellor,{H3289} and the expert{H2450} artificer,{H2791} and the skilful{H2450} enchanter.{H3908}

And I will give{H5414} children{H5288} to be their princes,{H8269} and babes{H8586} shall rule{H4910} over them.

And the people{H5971} shall be oppressed,{H5065} every one{H376} by another,{H376} and every one{H376} by his neighbor:{H7453} the child{H5288} shall behave himself proudly{H7292} against the old{H2205} man, and the base{H7034} against the honorable.{H3513}

When a man{H376} shall take hold{H8610} of his brother{H251} in the house{H1004} of his father,{H1} [saying], Thou hast clothing,{H8071} be thou our ruler,{H7101} and let this ruin{H4384} be under thy hand;{H3027}

in that day{H3117} shall he lift up{H5375} [his voice], saying,{H559} I will not be a healer;{H2280} for in my house{H1004} is neither bread{H3899} nor clothing:{H8071} ye shall not make{H7760} me ruler{H7101} of the people.{H5971}

For Jerusalem{H3389} is ruined,{H3782} and Judah{H3063} is fallen;{H5307} because their tongue{H3956} and their doings{H4611} are against Jehovah,{H3068} to provoke{H4784} the eyes{H5869} of his glory.{H3519}

The show{H1971} of their countenance{H6440} doth witness against them;{H6030} and they declare{H5046} their sin{H2403} as Sodom,{H5467} they hide{H3582} it not. Woe{H188} unto their soul!{H5315} for they have done{H1580} evil{H7451} unto themselves.

Say{H559} ye of the righteous,{H6662} that [it shall be] well{H2896} [with him]; for they shall eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} of their doings.{H4611}

Woe{H188} unto the wicked!{H7563} [it shall be] ill{H7451} [with him]; for what his hands{H3027} have done{H1576} shall be done{H6213} unto him.

As for my people,{H5971} children{H5953} are their oppressors,{H5065} and women{H802} rule{H4910} over them. O my people,{H5971} they that lead{H833} thee cause thee to err,{H8582} and destroy{H1104} the way{H1870} of thy paths.{H734}

Jehovah{H3068} standeth up{H5324} to contend,{H7378} and standeth{H5975} to judge{H1777} the peoples.{H5971}

Jehovah{H3068} will enter{H935} into judgment{H4941} with the elders{H2205} of his people,{H5971} and the princes{H8269} thereof: It is ye that have eaten up{H1197} the vineyard;{H3754} the spoil{H1500} of the poor{H6041} is in your houses:{H1004}

what mean ye that ye crush{H1792} my people,{H5971} {H1792} and grind{H2912} the face{H6440} of the poor?{H6041} saith{H5002} the Lord,{H136} Jehovah{H136} of hosts.{H6635}

Moreover Jehovah{H3068} said,{H559} Because{H3282} the daughters{H1323} of Zion{H6726} are haughty,{H1361} and walk{H3212} with outstretched{H5186} necks{H1627} and wanton{H8265} eyes,{H5869} walking{H3212} and mincing{H2952} as they go,{H3212} and making a tinkling{H5913} with their feet;{H7272}

therefore the Lord{H136} will smite with a scab{H5596} the crown of the head{H6936} of the daughters{H1323} of Zion,{H6726} and Jehovah{H3068} will lay bare{H6168} their secret parts.{H6596}

In that day{H3117} the Lord{H136} will take away{H5493} the beauty{H8597} of their anklets,{H5914} and the cauls,{H7636} and the crescents;{H7720}

the pendants,{H5188} and the bracelets,{H8285} and the mufflers;{H7479}

the headtires,{H6287} and the ankle{H6807} chains, and the sashes,{H7196} and the perfume-boxes,{H5315} and the amulets;{H3908}

the rings,{H2885} and the nose -{H639} jewels;{H5141}

the festival robes,{H4254} and the mantles,{H4595} and the shawls,{H4304} and the satchels;{H2754}

the hand-mirrors,{H1549} and the fine linen,{H5466} and the turbans,{H6797} and the veils.{H7289}

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices{H1314} there shall be rottenness;{H4716} and instead of a girdle,{H2290} a rope;{H5364} and instead of well set{H4639} hair,{H4748} baldness;{H7144} and instead of a robe,{H6614} a girding{H4228} of sackcloth;{H8242} branding{H3587} instead of beauty.{H3308}

Thy men{H4962} shall fall{H5307} by the sword,{H2719} and thy mighty{H1369} in the war.{H4421}

And her gates{H6607} shall lament{H578} and mourn;{H56} and she shall be desolate{H5352} and sit{H3427} upon the ground.{H776}
