Dual Panel1For, behold, the Lord <0113>_, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, doth take away <05493> (8688) from Jerusalem <03389> and from Judah <03063> the stay <04937> and the staff <04938>_, the whole stay <04937> of bread <03899>_, and the whole <03605> stay <04937> of water <04325>_,
2The mighty man <01368>_, and the man <0376> of war <04421>_, the judge <08199> (8802)_, and the prophet <05030>_, and the prudent <07080> (8802)_, and the ancient <02205>_,
3The captain <08269> of fifty <02572>_, and the honourable <05375> (8803) man <06440>_, and the counsellor <03289> (8802)_, and the cunning <02450> artificer <02791>_, and the eloquent <0995> (8737) orator <03908>_. {the honourable...: Heb. a man eminent in countenance} {eloquent...: or, skilful of speech}
4And I will give <05414> (8804) children <05288> [to be] their princes <08269>_, and babes <08586> shall rule <04910> (8799) over them.
5And the people <05971> shall be oppressed <05065> (8738)_, every one <0376> by another <0376>_, and every one <0376> by his neighbour <07453>_: the child <05288> shall behave himself proudly <07292> (8799) against the ancient <02205>_, and the base <07034> (8737) against the honourable <03513> (8737)_.
6When a man <0376> shall take hold <08610> (8799) of his brother <0251> of the house <01004> of his father <01>_, [saying], Thou hast clothing <08071>_, be thou our ruler <07101>_, and [let] this ruin <04384> [be] under thy hand <03027>_:
7In that day <03117> shall he swear <05375> (8799)_, saying <0559> (8800)_, I will not be an healer <02280> (8802)_; for in my house <01004> [is] neither bread <03899> nor clothing <08071>_: make <07760> (8799) me not a ruler <07101> of the people <05971>_. {swear: Heb. lift up the hand} {healer: Heb. binder up}
8For Jerusalem <03389> is ruined <03782> (8804)_, and Judah <03063> is fallen <05307> (8804)_: because their tongue <03956> and their doings <04611> [are] against the LORD <03068>_, to provoke <04784> (8687) the eyes <05869> of his glory <03519>_.
9The shew <01971> of their countenance <06440> doth witness against them <06030> (8804)_; and they declare <05046> (8689) their sin <02403> as Sodom <05467>_, they hide <03582> (8765) [it] not. Woe <0188> unto their soul <05315>_! for they have rewarded <01580> (8804) evil <07451> unto themselves.
10Say <0559> (8798) ye to the righteous <06662>_, that [it shall be] well <02896> [with him]: for they shall eat <0398> (8799) the fruit <06529> of their doings <04611>_.
11Woe <0188> unto the wicked <07563>_! [it shall be] ill <07451> [with him]: for the reward <01576> of his hands <03027> shall be given <06213> (8735) him. {given...: Heb. done to him}
12[As for] my people <05971>_, children <05953> (8781) [are] their oppressors <05065> (8802)_, and women <0802> rule <04910> (8804) over them. O my people <05971>_, they which lead <0833> (8764) thee cause [thee] to err <08582> (8688)_, and destroy <01104> (8765) the way <01870> of thy paths <0734>_. {lead...: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
13The LORD <03068> standeth up <05324> (8737) to plead <07378> (8800)_, and standeth <05975> (8802) to judge <01777> (8800) the people <05971>_.
14The LORD <03068> will enter <0935> (8799) into judgment <04941> with the ancients <02205> of his people <05971>_, and the princes <08269> thereof: for ye have eaten up <01197> (8765) the vineyard <03754>_; the spoil <01500> of the poor <06041> [is] in your houses <01004>_. {eaten: or, burnt}
15What mean ye [that] ye beat <01792> (0) my people <05971> to pieces <01792> (8762)_, and grind <02912> (8799) the faces <06440> of the poor <06041>_? saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>_.
16Moreover the LORD <03068> saith <0559> (8799)_, Because <03282> the daughters <01323> of Zion <06726> are haughty <01361> (8804)_, and walk <03212> (8799) with stretched forth <05186> (8803) necks <01627> and wanton <08265> (8764) eyes <05869>_, walking <01980> (8800) and mincing <02952> (8800) [as] they go <03212> (8799)_, and making a tinkling <05913> (8762) with their feet <07272>_: {wanton...: Heb. deceiving with their eyes} {mincing: or, tripping nicely}
17Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite with a scab <05596> (8765) the crown of the head <06936> of the daughters <01323> of Zion <06726>_, and the LORD <03068> will discover <06168> (8762) their secret parts <06596>_. {discover: Heb. make naked}
18In that day <03117> the Lord <0136> will take away <05493> (8686) the bravery <08597> of [their] tinkling ornaments <05914> [about their feet], and [their] cauls <07636>_, and [their] round tires like the moon <07720>_, {cauls: or, networks}
19The chains <05188>_, and the bracelets <08285>_, and the mufflers <07479>_, {chains: or, sweet balls} {mufflers: or, spangled ornaments}
20The bonnets <06287>_, and the ornaments of the legs <06807>_, and the headbands <07196>_, and the tablets <05315> <01004>_, and the earrings <03908>_, {tablets: Heb. houses of the soul}
21The rings <02885>_, and nose <0639> jewels <05141>_,
22The changeable suits of apparel <04254>_, and the mantles <04595>_, and the wimples <04304>_, and the crisping pins <02754>_,
23The glasses <01549>_, and the fine linen <05466>_, and the hoods <06797>_, and the vails <07289>_.
24And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell <01314> there shall be stink <04716>_; and instead of a girdle <02290> a rent <05364>_; and instead of well set <04639> hair <04748> baldness <07144>_; and instead of a stomacher <06614> a girding <04228> of sackcloth <08242>_; [and] burning <03587> instead of beauty <03308>_.
25Thy men <04962> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>_, and thy mighty <01369> in the war <04421>_. {mighty: Heb. might}
26And her gates <06607> shall lament <0578> (8804) and mourn <056> (8804)_; and she [being] desolate <05352> (8738) shall sit <03427> (8799) upon the ground <0776>_. {desolate: or, emptied: Heb. cleansed}
