\q1
|
|
\v 1 See, the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah
|
|
\q1 support and staff: the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 the mighty man, the warrior, the judge, the prophet, the omen reader, the elder;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 the captain of fifty, the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman, and the skillful enchanter.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 "I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor;
|
|
\q1 the child will proudly defy the elderly, and the degraded will challenge the honorable.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house
|
|
\q1 and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your charge.'
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 On that day he will shout and say,
|
|
\q1 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing.
|
|
\q1 You will not make me ruler of the people.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah has fallen,
|
|
\q1 because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying his royal authority.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 The look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
|
|
\q1 Woe to them! For they have brought a catastrophe upon themselves.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Tell the righteous person that it will be well with them; for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for what his hands have dealt out he will receive.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
|
|
\q1 My people, your leaders lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.

\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yahweh stands up to judge in court; he stands up to judge his people.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Yahweh will pronounce judgment on the elders and on the officials of his people:
|
|
\q1 "You have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?"
|
|
\q1 This is the declaration of the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.

\q1
|
|
\v 16 Yahweh says that the daughters of Zion are proud
|
|
\q1 and walk along with their heads high, and flirt with their eyes,
|
|
\q1 mincing along as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Therefore the Lord will form diseased scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 On that day the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
|
|
\m
|
|
\v 19 the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
|
|
\v 20 the headscarfs, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 21 He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
|
|
\v 22 the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
|
|
\v 23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 Instead of sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope;
|
|
\q1 instead of well-coiffed hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth;
|
|
\q1 and branding instead of beauty.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 26 Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
