Isaiah 3:1-9

1For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hostsH6635, doth take awayH5493 from JerusalemH3389 and from JudahH3063 stay and staffH4938, the whole stay of breadH3899, and the whole stay of waterH4325;

2the mightyH1368 manH376, and the manH376 of warH4421; the judgeH8199, and the prophetH5030, and the divinerH7080, and the elderH2205;

3the captain of fiftyH2572, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the expert artificer, and the skilful enchanter.

4And I will giveH5414 children to be their princesH8269, and babes shall ruleH4910 over them.

5And the peopleH5971 shall be oppressed, every oneH376 by another, and every oneH376 by his neighborH7453: the child shall behave himself proudly against the oldH2205 manH376, and the base against the honorable.

6When a manH376 shall take hold of his brotherH251 in the houseH1004 of his fatherH1, saying, Thou hast clothingH8071, beH1961 thou our rulerH7101, and let this ruin beH1961 under thy handH3027;

7in that dayH3117 shall he liftH5375 up his voice, sayingH559, I will not beH1961 a healer; for in my houseH1004 is neither breadH3899 nor clothingH8071: ye shall not makeH7760 me rulerH7101 of the peopleH5971.

8For JerusalemH3389 is ruined, and JudahH3063 is fallenH5307; because their tongueH3956 and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyesH5869 of his gloryH3519.

9The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declareH5046 their sinH2403 as SodomH5467, they hideH3582 it not. WoeH188 unto their soulH5315! for they have done evilH7451 unto themselves.
