For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water. |
| 3:2 | The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, | Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder, |
| 3:3 | The captain of fifty, and |
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers. |
| 3:4 | And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. | And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them. |
| 3:5 | 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. | And the people hath exacted -- man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured. |
| 3:6 | 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: | When one layeth hold on his brother, `Of' the house of his father, `by' the garment, `Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin `is' under thy hand.' |
| 3:7 | In that day |
He lifteth up, in that day, saying: `I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler of the people.' |
| 3:8 | For |
For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings `are' against Jehovah, To provoke the eyes of His glory. |
| 3:9 | The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as |
The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Wo to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil. |
| 3:10 | Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. | Say ye to the righteous, that `it is' good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat. |
| 3:11 | Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be |
Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him. |
| 3:12 | As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, |
My people -- its exactors `are' sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people -- thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up. |
| 3:13 | The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. | Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples. |
| 3:14 | The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have |
Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: `And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor `is' in your houses. |
| 3:15 | What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. | What -- to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith: |
| 3:16 | Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of |
`Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving `with' the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling, |
| 3:17 | Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of |
The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth. |
| 3:18 | In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their |
In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons, |
| 3:19 | The |
Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, |
| 3:20 | The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the |
Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets, |
| 3:21 | The rings, and nose jewels, | Of the seals, and of the nose-rings, |
| 3:22 | The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, | Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses, |
| 3:23 | The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. | Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails, |
| 3:24 | 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. | And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth. |
| 3:25 | Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy |
For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle. |
| 3:26 | And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being |
And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth! |
