Isaiah 3:1 (MSG) Message Bible

1 The Master, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, is emptying Jerusalem and Judah Of all the basic necessities, plain bread and water to begin with.
2 He's withdrawing police and protection, judges and courts, pastors and teachers,
3 captains and generals, doctors and nurses, and, yes, even the repairmen and jacks-of-all-trades.
4 He says, "I'll put little kids in charge of the city. Schoolboys and schoolgirls will order everyone around.
5 People will be at each other's throats, stabbing one another in the back: Neighbor against neighbor, young against old, the no-account against the well-respected.
6 One brother will grab another and say, 'You look like you've got a head on your shoulders. Do something! Get us out of this mess.'
7 And he'll say, 'Me? Not me! I don't have a clue. Don't put me in charge of anything.'
8 "Jerusalem's on its last legs. Judah is soon down for the count. Everything people say and do is at cross-purposes with GOD, a slap in my face.
9 Brazen in their depravity, they flout their sins like degenerate Sodom. Doom to their eternal souls! They've made their bed; now they'll sleep in it.
10 "Reassure the righteous that their good living will pay off.
11 But doom to the wicked! Disaster! Everything they did will be done to them.
12 "Skinny kids terrorize my people. Silly girls bully them around. My dear people! Your leaders are taking you down a blind alley. They're sending you off on a wild goose chase."
13 GOD enters the courtroom. He takes his place at the bench to judge his people.
14 GOD calls for order in the court, hauls the leaders of his people into the dock: "You've played havoc with this country. Your houses are stuffed with what you've stolen from the poor.
15 What is this anyway? Stomping on my people, grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?" That's what the Master, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, says.
16 GOD says, "Zion women are stuck-up, prancing around in their high heels, Making eyes at all the men in the street, swinging their hips, Tossing their hair, gaudy and garish in cheap jewelry."
17 The Master will fix it so those Zion women will all turn bald-- Scabby, bald-headed women. The Master will do it.
18 The time is coming when the Master will strip them of their fancy baubles--
19 the dangling earrings, anklets and bracelets,
20 combs and mirrors and silk scarves, diamond brooches and pearl necklaces,
21 the rings on their fingers and the rings on their toes,
22 the latest fashions in hats, exotic perfumes and aphrodisiacs, gowns and capes,
23 all the world's finest in fabrics and design.
24 Instead of wearing seductive scents, these women are going to smell like rotting cabbages; Instead of modeling flowing gowns, they'll be sporting rags; Instead of their stylish hairdos, scruffy heads; Instead of beauty marks, scabs and scars.
25 Your finest fighting men will be killed, your soldiers left dead on the battlefield.
26 The entrance gate to Zion will be clotted with people mourning their dead-- A city stooped under the weight of her loss, brought to her knees by her sorrows.
1 For H3588 CONJ , behold H2009 IJEC , the Lord H113 , the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , doth take away H5493 VHPMS from Jerusalem H3389 and from Judah H3063 the stay H4937 and the staff H4938 , the whole H3605 NMS stay H4937 of bread H3899 NMS , and the whole H3605 NMS stay H4937 of water H4325 NMP ,
2 The mighty H1368 AMS man , and the man H376 W-NMS of war H4421 NFS , the judge H8199 , and the prophet H5030 , and the prudent H7080 , and the ancient H2205 ,
3 The captain H8269 of fifty H2572 MMP , and the honorable man H5375 W-VWCMS , and the counselor H3289 , and the cunning H2450 artificer H2796 , and the eloquent H995 orator H3908 .
4 And I will give H5414 children H5288 NMP to be their princes H8269 , and babes H8586 shall rule H4910 over them .
5 And the people H5971 shall be oppressed H5065 , every one H376 NMS by another H376 NMS , and every one H376 NMS by his neighbor H7453 : the child H5288 shall behave himself proudly H7292 against the ancient H2205 , and the base H7034 against the honorable H3513 .
6 When H3588 CONJ a man H376 NMS shall take hold H8610 of his brother H251 of the house H1004 CMS of his father H1 CMS-3MS , saying , Thou hast clothing H8071 , be H1961 VQY2MS thou our ruler H7101 , and let this H2063 D-DFS ruin H4384 be under H8478 NMS thy hand H3027 :
7 In that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 shall he swear H5375 VQY3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , I will not H3808 NADV be H1961 VQY1MS a healer H2280 ; for in my house H1004 is neither H369 NPAR bread H3899 NMS nor H369 W-NPAR clothing H8071 : make H7760 me not H3808 NADV a ruler H7101 of the people H5971 NMS .
8 For H3588 CONJ Jerusalem H3389 is ruined H3782 , and Judah H3063 is fallen H5307 : because H3588 CONJ their tongue H3956 and their doings H4611 are against H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , to provoke H4784 the eyes H5869 of his glory H3519 .
9 The show H1971 of their countenance H6440 CMP-3MP doth witness H6030 against them ; and they declare H5046 their sin H2403 as Sodom H5467 , they hide H3582 it not H3808 NADV . Woe H188 unto their soul H5315 ! for H3588 CONJ they have rewarded H1580 evil H7451 AFS unto themselves .
10 Say H559 ye to the righteous H6662 AMS , that H3588 CONJ it shall be well H2895 with him : for H3588 CONJ they shall eat H398 the fruit H6529 CMS of their doings H4611 .
11 Woe H188 unto the wicked H7563 ! it shall be ill H7451 AMS with him : for H3588 CONJ the reward H1576 of his hands H3027 CFD-3MS shall be given H6213 him .
12 As for my people H5971 , children H5768 are their oppressors H5065 , and women H802 rule H4910 over them . O my people H5971 , they which lead H833 thee cause thee to err H8582 , and destroy H1104 the way H1870 W-NMS of thy paths H734 .
13 The LORD H3068 EDS standeth up H5324 to plead H7378 L-VQFC , and standeth H5975 to judge H1777 the people H5971 .
14 The LORD H3068 EDS will enter H935 VQY3MS into judgment H4941 with H5973 PREP the ancients H2205 of his people H5971 , and the princes H8269 thereof : for ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP have eaten up H1197 the vineyard H3754 ; the spoil H1500 of the poor H6041 is in your houses H1004 .
15 What mean ye H4100 that ye beat my people to pieces H1792 , and grind H2912 the faces H6440 W-CMP of the poor H6041 AMP ? saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
16 Moreover the LORD H3068 EDS saith H559 W-VQY3MS , Because H3282 ADV the daughters H1323 CFP of Zion H6726 are haughty H1361 , and walk H1980 with stretched forth H5186 necks H1627 and wanton H8265 eyes H5869 , walking H1980 VQFA and mincing H2952 as they go H1980 , and making a tinkling H5913 with their feet H7272 :
17 Therefore the Lord H136 EDS will smite with a scab H5596 the crown of the head H6936 of the daughters H1323 CFP of Zion H6726 , and the LORD H3068 W-EDS will discover H6168 their secret parts H6596 .
18 In that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS the Lord H136 EDS will take away H5493 the bravery H8597 of their tinkling ornaments H5914 about their feet , and their cauls H7636 , and their round tires H7720 like the moon ,
19 The chains H5188 , and the bracelets H8285 , and the mufflers H7479 ,
20 The bonnets H6287 , and the ornaments of the legs H6807 , and the headbands H7196 , and the tablets H1004 , and the earrings H3908 ,
21 The rings H2885 , and nose H639 jewels H5141 ,
22 The changeable suits of apparel H4254 , and the mantles H4595 , and the wimples H4304 , and the crisping pins H2754 ,
23 The glasses H1549 , and the fine linen H5466 , and the hoods H6797 , and the veils H7289 .
24 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that instead H8478 of sweet smell H1314 there shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS stink H4716 ; and instead H8478 of a girdle H2290 a rent H5364 ; and instead H8478 of well set H4639 NMS hair H4748 baldness H7144 ; and instead H8478 of a stomacher H6614 a girding H4228 of sackcloth H8242 ; and burning H3587 instead H8478 of beauty H3308 .
25 Thy men H4962 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 , and thy mighty H1369 in the war H4421 .
26 And her gates H6607 shall lament H578 and mourn H56 ; and she being desolate H5352 shall sit H3427 upon the ground H776 LD-NFS .
