- 1. ¶ FOR, behold, the LORD of hosts does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
- 2. The mighty man and the man of war, the judge and the prophet and the diviner and the elder,
- 3. The captain of fifty and the honorable man and the counsellor and the skilful carpenter and the expert counsellor.
- 4. And I will appoint young men to be their princes, and mockers shall rule over them.
- 5. And the people shall oppress one another, every one his neighbor; and the young men shall provoke the elders, and the base men the honorable.
- 6. When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, and say to him, You have clothing, be our ruler, and govern this ruin;
- 7. In that day he shall answer, and say, I will not be a leader; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing; make me not a ruler over the people.
- 8. For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, provoking God in the majesty of his glory.
- 9. ¶ Their hypocrisy witnesses against them; and they declare their sins like Sodom, they do not hide them. Woe to their soul! for they have wrought evil to themselves.
- 10. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
- 11. Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
- 12. The princes shall pluck my people out, and women shall rule over them. O my people, your leaders have caused you to err, and disturbed the way of your paths.
- 13. The LORD stands up to plead, and stands to judge his people.
- 14. The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: for you have burned the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
- 15. Why did you sting my people, and shame the faces of the poor? says the LORD of hosts.
- 16. ¶ Because the daughters of Zion have become haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks, and wanton eyes, making a tinkling with their feet, and thus provoking the LORD;
- 17. Therefore the LORD will bring low the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD shall lay bare their secret parts.
- 18. In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their apparel;
- 19. And their adornments and their necklaces and the braids of their hair and their chains and their bonnets and their veils,
- 20. The paint of their faces, their earrings and their strings of beads
- 21. And the ornaments of their legs and their bracelets and nose rings,
- 22. The garments of varied colors and the mantles and the fine linens, the purple garments,
- 23. The long outer garments, the purple robes, the scarlet robes, the wardrobe of all their adornments.
- 24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of a sweet smell there shall be a stink; and instead of an ornamental girdle, a worker’s apron; and instead of curled hair, baldness; and instead of purple robes, a girding of sackcloth; for their beauty shall be destroyed.
- 25. Your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and your valiant men in the battle.
- 26. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and her victory shall turn to defeat.
