Isaiah 3:18 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;
2 the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder,
3 the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skilful magician and the expert in charms.
4 And I will make boys their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 And the people will oppress one another, every man his fellow and every man his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the base fellow to the honorable.
6 When a man takes hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: "You have a mantle; you shall be our leader, and this heap of ruins shall be under your rule";
7 in that day he will speak out, saying: "I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor mantle; you shall not make me leader of the people."
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.
9 Their partiality witnesses against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
12 My people -- children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.
13 The LORD has taken his place to contend, he stands to judge his people.
14 The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of his people: "It is you who have devoured the vineyard, the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor?" says the Lord GOD of hosts.
16 The LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet;
17 the Lord will smite with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;
19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarfs;
20 the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
21 the signet rings and nose rings;
22 the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;
23 the garments of gauze, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24 Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; ravaged, she shall sit upon the ground.
1 For H3588 , behold, H2009 the Lord, H113 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 doth take away H5493 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 and from Judah H4480 H3063 the stay H4937 and the staff, H4938 the whole H3605 stay H4937 of bread, H3899 and the whole H3605 stay H4937 of water, H4325
2 The mighty H1368 man , and the man H376 of war, H4421 the judge, H8199 and the prophet, H5030 and the prudent, H7080 and the ancient, H2205
3 The captain H8269 of fifty, H2572 and the honorable man H5375 H6440 , and the counselor, H3289 and the cunning H2450 artificer, H2796 and the eloquent H995 orator. H3908
4 And I will give H5414 children H5288 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 by another, H376 and every one H376 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 a man H376 shall take hold H8610 of his brother H251 of the house H1004 of his father, H1 saying , Thou hast clothing, H8071 be H1961 thou our ruler, H7101 and let this H2063 ruin H4384 be under H8478 thy hand: H3027
7 In that H1931 day H3117 shall he swear, H5375 saying, H559 I will not H3808 be H1961 a healer; H2280 for in my house H1004 is neither H369 bread H3899 nor H369 clothing: H8071 make H7760 me not H3808 a ruler H7101 of the people. H5971
8 For H3588 Jerusalem H3389 is ruined, H3782 and Judah H3063 is fallen: H5307 because H3588 their tongue H3956 and their doings H4611 are against H413 the LORD, H3068 to provoke H4784 the eyes H5869 of his glory. H3519
9 The show H1971 of their countenance H6440 doth witness H6030 against them ; and they declare H5046 their sin H2403 as Sodom, H5467 they hide H3582 it not. H3808 Woe H188 unto their soul H5315 ! for H3588 they have rewarded H1580 evil H7451 unto themselves.
10 Say H559 ye to the righteous, H6662 that H3588 it shall be well H2895 with him : for H3588 they shall eat H398 the fruit H6529 of their doings. H4611
11 Woe H188 unto the wicked H7563 ! it shall be ill H7451 with him : for H3588 the reward H1576 of his hands H3027 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 of thy paths. H734
13 The LORD H3068 standeth up H5324 to plead, H7378 and standeth H5975 to judge H1777 the people. H5971
14 The LORD H3068 will enter H935 into judgment H4941 with H5973 the ancients H2205 of his people, H5971 and the princes H8269 thereof : for ye H859 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 H5971 , and grind H2912 the faces H6440 of the poor H6041 ? saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3068 of hosts. H6635
16 Moreover the LORD H3068 saith, H559 Because H3282 H3588 the daughters H1323 of Zion H6726 are haughty, H1361 and walk H1980 with stretched forth H5186 necks H1627 and wanton H8265 eyes, H5869 walking H1980 and mincing H2952 as they go, H1980 and making a tinkling H5913 with their feet: H7272
17 Therefore the Lord H136 will smite with a scab H5596 the crown of the head H6936 of the daughters H1323 of Zion, H6726 and the LORD H3068 will discover H6168 their secret parts. H6596
18 In that H1931 day H3117 the Lord H136 will take away H5493 H853 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 H5315 , 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 that instead H8478 of sweet smell H1314 there shall be H1961 stink; H4716 and instead H8478 of a girdle H2290 a rent; H5364 and instead H8478 of well set H4639 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
