Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
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 .
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 ,
Hero
and
man of
war
, judge and prophet, And
diviner
and elder,
the
mighty
man and
the
warrior
, the
judge and the
prophet, the
soothsayer
and the
elder,
Head
of fifty ,
and accepted
of
faces
, And
counsellor
, and
the wise
of
artificers
, And the intelligent
of
charmers
.
the
commander
of fifty and the
dignitary
, the
counselor
, the cunning
magician
, and the clever
enchanter
.
And
I have
made
youths
their heads
, And sucklings
rule over them.
“
I will
make
mere
lads
their leaders
, and children
will
rule over them. ”
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
.
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
.
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
. '
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
. ”
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 .'
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 !”
For stumbled
hath
Jerusalem ,
and Judah hath
fallen ,
For
their
tongue
and their
doings
`are'
against Jehovah,
To
provoke
the eyes
of
His glory
.
For Jerusalem has
stumbled
and Judah has
fallen because
they
spoke
and acted
against the LORD,
defying
His glorious
presence
.
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
.
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.
Say
ye
to
the righteous ,
that
`
it is'
good
, Because
the fruit of their doings
they
eat
.
Tell
the righteous it will
be
well
with
them
, for
they
will
enjoy
the fruit of their labor
.
Wo
to the wicked --
evil,
Because
the
deed
of
his
hand
is done to
him
.
Woe
to the wicked ;
disaster
is upon
them!
For
they
will
be
repaid
with
what
their
hands
have
done.
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
.
Youths
oppress
My people, and women rule
over them
. O
My people, your
guides
mislead
you;
they
turn
you
from
your
paths.
Jehovah
hath
stood
up
to plead,
And
He is
standing
to judge the peoples
.
The
LORD
arises
to contend;
He stands
to judge the people
.
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.
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.
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:
Why
do
you crush
My people and grind
the faces of the poor ?”
declares
the Lord GOD
of Hosts .
`
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
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—
The Lord also
hath
scabbed
The crown
of the head
of
daughters of Zion, And Jehovah
their simplicity
exposeth
.
the Lord will
bring
sores
on
the heads
of the daughters of Zion, and the
LORD
will
make
their foreheads
bare
. ”
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,
In that day the Lord will
take
away
their
finery:
their
anklets
and headbands
and crescents;
Of
the
drops
, and
the
bracelets, and the
mufflers,
their
pendants
, bracelets, and veils;
Of
the
bonnets,
and
the
ornaments
of
the
legs
, And
of
the
bands
, And of
the
perfume boxes,
and the
amulets,
their
headdresses
, ankle
chains
, and sashes;
their
perfume bottles
and charms;
Of
the
seals,
and of
the
nose -
rings ,
their
signet
rings
and nose rings ;
Of
the
costly
apparel
, and
of
the
mantles
, And
of
the
coverings
, and of
the
purses ,
their
festive
robes
, capes
, cloaks
, and purses ;
Of
the
mirrors, and
of
the
linen garments, And
of
the
hoods
, and of
the
vails,
and
their
mirrors, linen garments, tiaras
, and shawls.
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.
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
.
For
instead
of
glory,
thy
men by sword do
fall
, And thy
might
in battle.
Your
men will
fall
by the
sword, and your
warriors
in battle.
And lamented
and mourned
have
her
openings,
Yea
, she hath
been
emptied,
on the earth
she
sitteth!
And the
gates
of
Zion
will
lament
and mourn;
destitute
, she will
sit
on the ground.
