1For beholdH2009, the LordH136 1GodH3068 of armiesH6635 2is going to removeH5493 from JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063 Both supplyH4937 and supportH4938, the entireH3605 supplyH4937 of breadH3899 And the entireH3605 supplyH4937 of waterH4325;23The mightyH1368 manH1368 and the warriorH376H4421, The judgeH8199 and the prophetH5030, The divinerH7080 and the elderH2205,3The captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 and the esteemedH5375H6440 person, The counselorH3289 and the expertH2450 artisanH2796, And the skillfulH995 enchanterH3908.4And I will makeH5414 mere 4boysH5288 their leadersH8269, And 5mischievousH8586 children will ruleH4910 over them,5And the peopleH5971 will be 6oppressedH5065, EachH376 oneH376 by anotherH376, and eachH376 oneH376 by his 7neighborH7453; The youthH5288 will assaultH7292 the elderH2205, And the contemptibleH7034 person will assault the one honoredH3513.6WhenH3588 a manH376 8laysH8610 holdH8610 of his brotherH251 in his father’sH1 houseH1004, saying, “You have a cloakH8071, you shall be our rulerH7101! And theseH2088 ruinsH4384 will be underH8478 your 9authorityH3027,”7He will 10protestH5375 on that dayH3117, sayingH559, “I will not be your 1112healerH2280, For in my houseH1004 thereH369 isH369 neitherH369 breadH3899 norH369 cloakH8071; You should not appointH7760 me rulerH7101 of the peopleH5971.”8For 13JerusalemH3389 has stumbledH3782 and JudahH3063 has fallenH5307, BecauseH3588 their 1415speechH3956 and their actionsH4611 are againstH413 the LordH3068, To 16rebelH4784 against 17His gloriousH3519 presenceH5869.918The expressionH1971 of their facesH6440 testifiesH6030 against them, And they 19displayH5046 their sinH2403 like 20SodomH5467; They do not even concealH3582 it. WoeH188 to 21them! For they have 22doneH1580 evilH7463 to themselves.
