1 # For, behold, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, doth take away <05493> (8688) from Jerusalem <03389> and from Judah <03063> the stay <04937> and the staff <04938>, the whole stay <04937> of bread <03899>, and the whole <03605> stay <04937> of water <04325>,
2 The mighty man <01368>, and the man <0376> of war <04421>, the judge <08199> (8802), and the prophet <05030> , and the prudent <07080> (8802), and the ancient <02205>,
3 The captain <08269> of fifty <02572>, and the honourable <05375> (8803) man <06440>, and the counsellor <03289> (8802), and the cunning <02450> artificer <02791>, and the eloquent <0995> (8737) orator <03908>.
4 And I will give <05414> (8804) children <05288> to be their princes <08269>, and babes <08586> shall rule <04910> (8799) over them.
5 And the people <05971> shall be oppressed <05065> (8738), every one <0376> by another <0376>, and every one <0376> by his neighbour <07453>: the child <05288> shall behave himself proudly <07292> (8799) against the ancient <02205>, and the base <07034> (8737) against the honourable <03513> (8737).
6 When a man <0376> shall take hold <08610> (8799) of his brother <0251> of the house <01004> of his father <01>, saying, Thou hast clothing <08071>, be thou our ruler <07101>, and let this ruin <04384> be under thy hand <03027> :
7 In that day <03117> shall he swear <05375> (8799), saying <0559> (8800), I will not be an healer <02280> (8802); for in my house <01004> is neither bread <03899> nor clothing <08071>: make <07760> (8799) me not a ruler <07101> of the people <05971>.
8 For Jerusalem <03389> is ruined <03782> (8804), and Judah <03063> is fallen <05307> (8804): because their tongue <03956> and their doings <04611> are against the LORD <03068>, to provoke <04784> (8687) the eyes <05869> of his glory <03519>.
9 # The shew <01971> of their countenance <06440> doth witness against them <06030> (8804); and they declare <05046> (8689) their sin <02403> as Sodom <05467>, they hide <03582> (8765) it not. Woe <0188> unto their soul <05315> ! for they have rewarded <01580> (8804) evil <07451> unto themselves.
10 Say <0559> (8798) ye to the righteous <06662>, that it shall be well <02896> with him: for they shall eat <0398> (8799) the fruit <06529> of their doings <04611>.

11 Woe <0188> unto the wicked <07563>! it shall be ill <07451> with him: for the reward <01576> of his hands <03027> shall be given <06213> (8735) him.
12 As for my people <05971>, children <05953> (8781) are their oppressors <05065> (8802), and women <0802> rule <04910> (8804) over them. O my people <05971>, they which lead <0833> (8764) thee cause thee to err <08582> (8688), and destroy <01104> (8765) the way <01870> of thy paths <0734>.
13 The LORD <03068> standeth up <05324> (8737) to plead <07378> (8800), and standeth <05975> (8802) to judge <01777> (8800) the people <05971>.
14 The LORD <03068> will enter <0935> (8799) into judgment <04941> with the ancients <02205> of his people <05971>, and the princes <08269> thereof: for ye have eaten up <01197> (8765) the vineyard <03754>; the spoil <01500> of the poor <06041> is in your houses <01004>.
15 What mean ye that ye beat <01792> <00> my people <05971> to pieces <01792> (8762), and grind <02912> (8799) the faces <06440> of the poor <06041>? saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>.
16 # Moreover the LORD <03068> saith <0559> (8799), Because <03282> the daughters <01323> of Zion <06726> are haughty <01361> (8804), and walk <03212> (8799) with stretched forth <05186> (8803) necks <01627> and wanton <08265> (8764) eyes <05869>, walking <01980> (8800) and mincing <02952> (8800) as they go <03212> (8799), and making a tinkling <05913> (8762) with their feet <07272>:
17 Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite with a scab <05596> (8765) the crown of the head <06936> of the daughters <01323> of Zion <06726>, and the LORD <03068> will discover <06168> (8762) their secret parts <06596>.
18 In that day <03117> the Lord <0136> will take away <05493> (8686) the bravery <08597> of their tinkling ornaments <05914> about their feet, and their cauls <07636>, and their round tires like the moon <07720>,
19 The chains <05188>, and the bracelets <08285>, and the mufflers <07479>,
20 The bonnets <06287>, and the ornaments of the legs <06807>, and the headbands <07196>, and the tablets <05315> <01004> , and the earrings <03908>,
21 The rings <02885>, and nose <0639> jewels <05141>,
22 The changeable suits of apparel <04254>, and the mantles <04595>, and the wimples <04304>, and the crisping pins <02754>,
23 The glasses <01549>, and the fine linen <05466>, and the hoods <06797>, and the vails <07289>.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell <01314> there shall be stink <04716>; and instead of a girdle <02290> a rent <05364>; and instead of well set <04639> hair <04748> baldness <07144>; and instead of a stomacher <06614> a girding <04228> of sackcloth <08242>; and burning <03587> instead of beauty <03308>.
25 Thy men <04962> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>, and thy mighty <01369> in the war <04421>.
26 And her gates <06607> shall lament <0578> (8804) and mourn <056> (8804); and she being desolate <05352> (8738) shall sit <03427> (8799) upon the ground <0776>.
