Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 003

03:001

For, behold, the L-rd, HaShem of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water

03:002

The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder

03:003

The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter

03:004

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

03:005

And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable

03:006

For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.

03:007

In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.

03:008

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against HaShem, to provoke the eyes of His glory

03:009

The show 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 wrought evil unto themselves

03:010

Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings

03:011

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him

03:012

As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths

03:013

HaShem standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples

03:014

HaShem will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses

03:015

What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the L-rd, the GOD of hosts

03:016

Moreover HaShem said: 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

03:017

Therefore the L-rd will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and HaShem will lay bare their secret parts

03:018

In that day the L-rd will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents

03:019

the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils

03:020

the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets

03:021

the rings, and the nose-jewels

03:022

the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles

03:023

and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles

03:024

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty

03:025

Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war

03:026

And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground
