Isaiah
Chapter 03
1
For, behold, the Lord/ 'Adown . . .
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts,
does
take away from Jerusalem and from Judah
the
stay and the staff,
the
whole stay of bread,
and
the whole stay of water.
2
The mighty man,
and
the man of war,
the
judge,
and
the prophet,
and
the prudent,
and
the ancient, 3
the
captain of fifty,
and
the honorable man,
and
the counselor,
and
the cunning artificer,
and
the eloquent orator.
4
And I will give children to be their princes,
and
babes shall rule over them.
5
And the people shall be oppressed,
every
one by another,
and
every one by his neighbor.
The
child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient,
and
the base against the honorable.
6
When a man shall take hold of his brother
of
the house of his father, saying,
"You
have clothing,
you
be our ruler,
and
let this ruin be under your hand."
7
In that day,
he
shall swear, saying,
"I
will not be an healer . . .
for
in my house is neither bread nor clothing.
Make me not a ruler of the people."
8
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen . . .
because
their tongue
and
their doings
are
against Jehovah/God . . .
to
provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The show of their countenance does witness against them.
And
they declare their sin as Sodom,
they
hide it not.
Woe unto their soul!
For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10
Say you to the righteous,
that
it shall be well with him . . .
for
they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked!
It
shall be ill with him . . .
for
the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12
As for My people . . .
children
are their oppressors,
and
women rule over them.
O
My people,
they
which lead you cause you to err,
and
destroy the Way of your paths.
13 Jehovah/God stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.
14
Jehovah/God will enter into judgment
with
the ancients of His people,
and
the princes thereof . . .
for
you have eaten up the vineyard . . .
the
spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15``
What do you mean
that
you beat My people to pieces,
and
grind the faces of the poor?"
said
the Lord/ 'Adonay . . .
God/Jehovah
of the armies/hosts.
16~~Moreover
Jehovah/God said,
"Because
the daughters of Zion are proud
{filled with mental attitude sins},
and
walk with their heads held high,
and
have seductive eyes,
and
walk with short sexy steps,
and
tinkle their dangles on their feet.
17~~Therefore
the Lord/'Adonay will afflict
the
scalp of daughters of Zion
{scabs on that head held high},
and
Jehovah/God will make their forest fall.
{lose their hair}
18~~
In that day
{the day of disaster}
the
Lord/'Adonay will take away the beauty of their anklets,
and
their headbands,
and
their crescent jewelry, 19~~
the
dangling earrings,
and
the bracelets,
veils,
20~~
headdresses/hats,
and
ankle chains,
sashes,
perfume
boxes,
amulets,
21~~
finger-rings,
nose-rings,
22~
dress-robes,
dress-jackets,
coats,
23~~
money
purses,
hand
mirrors,
under-garments,
hoods/givens,
and
veils.
24~~
And it shall come to pass,
that
instead of sweet perfume,
there
will be a putrid stench/odor;
instead
of a beautiful girdle . . . a rope;
instead
of well set hair . . . baldness;
instead
of beautiful clothes . . . sackcloth;
and
instead of beauty . . . branded {as slaves}.
25~~Your
men will die by the sword {in battle},
and
your heroes will be killed in combat.
26~~Therefore,
the gates of your city
will
be filled with screaming {from rape}
and
mourning {from loss of loved ones};
and
deserted, she {the city}
will
fall to the ground.
