YLT
Young's Literal Translation
For behold
, the Lord GOD
of Hosts is about
to
remove
from Jerusalem and Judah both
supply
and support:
the
whole
supply
of food
and water ,
For, lo,
the Lord ,
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Is turning
aside
from Jerusalem ,
And from
Judah ,
stay
and staff,
Every
stay
of bread,
and every
stay
of
water .
the
mighty
man
and the
warrior
, the
judge and the
prophet, the
soothsayer
and the
elder,
Hero
and man
of
war
, judge and prophet, And diviner
and
elder,
the
commander
of fifty and the
dignitary
, the
counselor
, the cunning
magician
, and the clever
enchanter
.
Head
of fifty ,
and accepted
of
faces
, And
counsellor
, and
the wise
of
artificers
, And the intelligent
of
charmers
.
“
I will
make
mere
lads
their leaders
, and children
will
rule over them. ”
And
I have
made
youths
their heads
, And sucklings
rule over them.
The people will
oppress
one
another,
man against
man, neighbor
against
neighbor;
the young
will
rise
up
against the old
, and the base
against the honorable
.
And
the people hath
exacted
--
man upon
man, Even
a
man
on
his
neighbour,
Enlarge
themselves
do
the youths
against the aged
, And the lightly
esteemed
against the honoured
.
A
man
will
seize
his brother within
his
father’s
house :
“You
have
a
cloak—you
be
our
leader!
Take
charge
of this heap
of
rubble
. ”
When
one
layeth
hold
on
his brother ,
`Of'
the
house of his
father,
`by'
the
garment,
`Come,
a
ruler
thou
art
to
us,
And
this ruin
`is'
under
thy
hand
. '
On
that day he
will
cry
aloud
: “
I am not a healer.
I
have
no
food
or
clothing
in my house .
Do not make me leader
of the people !”
He
lifteth
up,
in
that day ,
saying
: `
I am not a binder
up,
And
in my house is
neither
bread
nor
garment,
Ye
do not make me a
ruler
of the people .'
For Jerusalem
has
stumbled and Judah has
fallen because
they
spoke
and acted
against the
LORD
, defying
His glorious
presence
.
For stumbled hath
Jerusalem,
and Judah hath
fallen ,
For
their
tongue
and their
doings
`are'
against Jehovah
, 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 appearance
of
their faces witnessed
against them, And their sin ,
as
Sodom,
they declared,
They
have
not hidden!
Wo
to their
soul
, For they have done
to
themselves evil
.
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 is'
good
, Because
the fruit of their doings
they
eat
.
Woe
to the wicked ;
disaster
is upon
them!
For
they
will
be
repaid
with
what
their
hands
have
done.
Wo
to the wicked --
evil,
Because
the
deed
of
his
hand
is done to
him
.
Youths
oppress
My people, and women rule
over them
. O
My people, your
guides
mislead
you;
they
turn
you
from
your
paths.
My people --
its
exactors
`are'
sucklings
, And women have
ruled
over it
. My people --
thy
eulogists
are
causing
to
err
, And
the
way
of
thy
paths swallowed
up
.
The
LORD
arises
to contend;
He stands
to judge the people
.
Jehovah
hath
stood
up
to plead,
And
He is
standing
to judge the peoples
.
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.
Jehovah
into
judgment
doth
enter
With
elders of His people ,
and
its
heads
: `And
ye,
ye
have consumed
the vineyard ,
Plunder 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
--
to
you ?
ye
bruise
My people ,
And the faces of the poor ye
grind.'
An
affirmation
of
the Lord ,
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
And
Jehovah
saith:
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—
`
Because that
daughters of Zion have
been
haughty ,
And they
walk
stretching
out
the
neck,
And
deceiving
`with'
the
eyes, Walking
and mincing
they go, And
with
their feet
they
make
a
tinkling,
the Lord will
bring
sores
on
the heads
of the daughters of Zion, and the
LORD
will
make
their foreheads
bare
. ”
The Lord also
hath
scabbed
The crown
of the head
of
daughters of Zion, And Jehovah
their simplicity
exposeth
.
In that day the Lord will
take
away
their
finery:
their
anklets
and headbands
and crescents;
In that day doth
the Lord turn
aside
The
beauty
of
the
tinkling
ornaments,
And of
the
embroidered
works,
And of
the
round
tires
like
moons,
their
pendants
, bracelets, and veils;
Of
the
drops
, and
the
bracelets, and the
mufflers,
their
headdresses
, ankle
chains
, and sashes;
their
perfume bottles
and charms;
Of
the
bonnets
, and
the
ornaments
of
the
legs
, And of
the
bands,
And
of
the
perfume boxes,
and the
amulets,
their
signet
rings
and nose rings ;
Of
the
seals,
and of
the
nose -
rings ,
their
festive
robes
, capes
, cloaks
, and purses ;
Of
the
costly
apparel
, and
of
the
mantles
, And
of
the
coverings
, and of
the
purses ,
and
their
mirrors, linen garments, tiaras
, and shawls.
Of
the
mirrors, and
of
the
linen garments, And
of
the
hoods
, and of
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
hath
been,
instead of spice
is
muck,
And
instead of a girdle
, a rope ,
And
instead of curled
work
, baldness, And
instead of a
stomacher
a
girdle
of
sackcloth
.
Your
men will
fall
by the
sword, and your
warriors
in battle.
For
instead
of
glory,
thy
men by sword do
fall
, And thy
might
in battle.
And the
gates
of
Zion
will
lament
and mourn;
destitute
, she will
sit
on the ground.
And lamented
and mourned
have
her
openings
, Yea,
she hath
been
emptied,
on the earth
she
sitteth!
