Isaiah 3:1-9

1For, behold, the LordH113, YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, doth take awayH5493 from JerusalemH3389 and from JudahH3063 the stayH4937 and the staffH4938, the whole stayH4937 of breadH3899, and the wholeH3605 stayH4937 of waterH4325, 2The mighty manH1368, and the manH376 of warH4421, the judgeH8199, and the prophetH5030, and the prudentH7080, and the ancientH2205, 3The captainH8269 of fiftyH2572, and the honourableH5375 manH6440, and the counsellorH3289, and the cunningH2450 artificerH2791, and the eloquentH995 oratorH3908.12 4And I will giveH5414 childrenH5288 to be their princesH8269, and babesH8586 shall ruleH4910 over them. 5And the peopleH5971 shall be oppressedH5065, every oneH376 by anotherH376, and every oneH376 by his neighbourH7453: the childH5288 shall behave himself proudlyH7292 against the ancientH2205, and the baseH7034 against the honourableH3513. 6When a manH376 shall take holdH8610 of his brotherH251 of the houseH1004 of his fatherH1, saying, Thou hast clothingH8071, be thou our rulerH7101, and let this ruinH4384 be under thy handH3027: 7In that dayH3117 shall he swearH5375, sayingH559, I will not be an healerH2280; for in my houseH1004 is neither breadH3899 nor clothingH8071: makeH7760 me not a rulerH7101 of the peopleH5971.34 8For JerusalemH3389 is ruinedH3782, and JudahH3063 is fallenH5307: because their tongueH3956 and their doingsH4611 are against YhwhH3068, to provokeH4784 the eyesH5869 of his gloryH3519.

9The shewH1971 of their countenanceH6440 doth witness against themH6030; and they declareH5046 their sinH2403 as SodomH5467, they hideH3582 it not. WoeH188 unto their soulH5315! for they have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto themselves.
