Isaiah 3:1-26 LSB

[1] For behold, the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water, [2] The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, The diviner and the elder, [3] The commander of fifty and the highly respected man, The counselor and the wise craftsman, And the experienced enchanter. [4] And I will make young men their princes, And capricious children will rule over them, [5] And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will overwhelm the elder And the dishonorable against the honorable. [6] When a man grasps his brother in his father’s house, saying, “You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your hand,” [7] He will protest on that day, saying, “I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people.” [8] For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen, Because their tongue and their deeds are against Yahweh, To rebel against His glorious presence. [9] The expression of their faces answers against them, And they declare their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out evil on themselves. [10] Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their deeds. [11] Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he has dealt out will be done to him. [12] O My people! Their taskmasters are infants, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And swallow up the way of your paths. [13] Yahweh takes His stand to contend, And stands to judge the peoples. [14] Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of His people and His princes, “It is you who have consumed the vineyard; The plunder robbed of the afflicted is in your houses. [15] “What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the afflicted?” Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts. [16] Moreover, Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty And walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet, [17] Therefore the Lord will smite the skull of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And Yahweh will make their foreheads bare.” [18] In that day the Lord will remove the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, [19] dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, [20] headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, enchanted charms, [21] finger rings, nose rings, [22] festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, [23] hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans, and shawls. [24] Now it will be that instead of sweet perfume there will be the smell of rot; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty. [25] Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle. [26] And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground.
