Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 003
003:001
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the
prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient
003:002
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the
counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent
orator
003:003
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall
rule over them
003:004
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and
every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself
proudly against the ancient, and the base against the
honourable
003:005
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
003:006
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer;
for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a
ruler of the people
003:007
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
003:008
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and
they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto
their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves
003:009
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for
they shall eat the fruit of their doings
003:010
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward
of his hands shall be given him
003:011
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women
rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee
to err, and destroy the way of thy paths
003:012
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the
people
003:013
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his
people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the
vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses
003:014
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the
faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts
003:015
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are
haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with
their feet
003:016
Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the
head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover
their secret parts
003:017
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their
tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and
their round tires like the moon
003:018
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers
003:019
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands,
and the tablets, and the earrings
003:020
The rings, and nose jewels
003:021
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the
wimples, and the crisping pins
003:022
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails
003:023
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there
shall be stink; 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
003:024
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war
003:025
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate
shall sit upon the ground
