| 1. | For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and 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 counselor, and the expert artificer, and the skillful enchanter. |
| 4. | I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. |
| 5. | The people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable. |
| 6. | When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, be you our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand; |
| 7. | in that day shall he lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: you shall not make me ruler of the people. |
| 8. | For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory. |
| 9. | The show of their face testifies against them. They declare their sin as Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have done evil to themselves. |
| 10. | Say you of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. |
| 11. | Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done to him. |
| 12. | As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths. |
| 13. | Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples. |
| 14. | Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes of it: It is you who have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: |
| 15. | what do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts. |
| 16. | Moreover Yahweh said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet; |
| 17. | therefore the Lord will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will lay bare their secret parts. |
| 18. | In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the headbands, and the crescents; |
| 19. | the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers; |
| 20. | the headdresses, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets; |
| 21. | the rings, and the nose-jewels; |
| 22. | the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels; |
| 23. | the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils. |
| 24. | It shall happen that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty. |
| 25. | Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war. |
| 26. | Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground. |
