I will make
mere
lads
their leaders
, and children
will
rule over them. ”
And
I will give
children
to
be
their princes
, and babes
shall
rule over them.
The people will
oppress
one another, man
against
man,

the young

rise
up
against the old
, and the base against the honorable
.
And
the people shall
be
oppressed,
every
one by

every
one

A man will

have
a

When
a man shall
take
hold
of

the
house of
his
father,
saying,
Thou

our ruler,

For Jerusalem has
stumbled
and Judah has
fallen because they
spoke
and acted
against the LORD, defying
His glorious
presence
.
For Jerusalem is
ruined,
and Judah is
fallen :
because their
tongue
and their
doings
are
against the LORD, to
provoke
the
eyes
of
his glory
.
The expression
on
their faces
testifies
against them ,
and like
Sodom
they flaunt
their sin ;
they do
not
conceal
it. Woe to
them,
for they have brought
disaster
upon
themselves.
The shew
of
their countenance
doth
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.
Tell
the righteous it will
be well with them,
for they will
enjoy
the fruit of their labor
.
Say
ye
to
the righteous ,
that
it shall
be well with him:
for they shall
eat
the fruit of their doings
.
Woe to
the wicked ;
disaster
is
upon
them
! For
they
will
be repaid
with what
their
hands have
done
.
Woe unto
the wicked! it
shall
be ill
with him:
for
the
reward
of
his
hands shall
be
given
him
.
Youths
oppress
My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your
guides
mislead
you;
they turn
you
from
your
paths.
As
for
my people, children
are
their
oppressors,
and women rule over them. O my people, they which
lead
thee
cause
thee
to
err,
and
destroy
the
way
of
thy
paths.
The LORD arises
to contend;
He
stands
to judge the people.
The LORD standeth
up
to plead,
and
standeth
to judge the people.
The LORD brings
this
charge
against
the elders
and
leaders
of His people: “You
have devoured
the vineyard; the plunder
of the poor is in your houses.
The LORD will
enter
into
judgment
with
the ancients
of his people ,
and
the
princes
thereof
: for
ye
have eaten
up
the vineyard; the spoil
of the poor is in your houses.
Why
do
you
crush
My people and grind the faces of the poor? ”
declares
the Lord GOD of Hosts.
What
mean
ye
that
ye
beat
my people to
pieces,
and grind the faces of the poor? saith
the Lord GOD of hosts.
The LORD also
says:
“
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty —
walking
with heads
held
high
and wanton eyes, prancing
and skipping
as they go, jingling
the
bracelets
on
their ankles—
Moreover
the LORD saith,
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty ,
and
walk
with stretched
forth
necks
and wanton eyes, walking
and mincing
as they go, and
making
a
tinkling
with
their feet:
the Lord will bring
sores
on
the heads
of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make
their foreheads
bare
. ”
Therefore
the LORD will smite
with
a
scab
the crown
of the head
of
the
daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover
their secret
parts
.
In that day the Lord will take away their finery:
their anklets
and headbands
and crescents;
In that day the Lord will take away the
bravery
of
their tinkling
ornaments
about
their feet,
and their
cauls,
and their
round
tires
like
the
moon,
their
pendants
, bracelets, and veils;
The
chains
, and
the
bracelets, and the
mufflers,
their
headdresses
, ankle
chains
, and sashes;
their
perfume
bottles
and charms;
The
bonnets
, and
the
ornaments
of
the
legs
, and the
headbands,
and the
tablets,
and
the
earrings,
their
signet
rings and nose rings;
The
rings ,
and nose jewels,
their
festive
robes
, capes
, cloaks
, and purses;
The
changeable
suits
of
apparel
, and
the
mantles
, and
the
wimples
, and the
crisping
pins,
and
their
mirrors
, linen garments
, tiaras
, and shawls
.
The
glasses
, and
the
fine
linen, and
the
hoods
, and the
vails
.
Instead of fragrance
there will
be a
stench
; instead of a belt,
a rope
; instead of styled
hair ,
baldness; instead of fine
clothing,
sackcloth; instead of beauty ,
shame
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
instead of sweet
smell
there shall
be stink
; and
instead of a girdle
a rent
; and
instead of well
set
hair baldness; and
instead of a
stomacher
a
girding
of
sackcloth; and
burning
instead of beauty.
Your
men will
fall by the sword, and your
warriors
in battle
.
Thy
men shall
fall by the sword, and thy
mighty
in the
war
.
And the
gates of
Zion
will
lament and mourn; destitute,
she will
sit on
the ground.
And her
gates shall
lament and mourn; and
she being
desolate
shall
sit upon
the ground.
