Dual Panel1For behold<2009>, the Lord<136> GOD<3068> of hosts<6635> is going to remove<5493> from Jerusalem<3389> and Judah<3063> Both supply<4937> and support<4938>, the whole<3605> supply<4937> of bread<3899> And the whole<3605> supply<4937> of water<4325>;
2The mighty<1368> man<1368> and the warrior<4421>, The judge<8199> and the prophet<5030>, The diviner<7080> and the elder<2205>,
3The captain<8269> of fifty<2572> and the honorable<5375><6440> man, The counselor<3289> and the expert<2450> artisan<2796>, And the skillful<995> enchanter<3908>.
4And I will make<5414> mere lads<5288> their princes<8269>, And capricious<8586> children<8586> will rule<4910> over them,
5And the people<5971> will be oppressed<5065>, Each<376> one<376> by another<376>, and each<376> one<376> by his neighbor<7453>; The youth<5288> will storm<7292> against the elder<2205> And the inferior<7034> against the honorable<3513>.
6When<3588> a man<376> lays<8610> hold<8610> of his brother<251> in his father's<1> house<1004>, saying, "You have a cloak<8071>, you shall be our ruler<7101>, And these<2088> ruins<4384> will be under<8478> your charge<3027>,"
7He will protest<5375> on that day<3117>, saying<559>, "I will not be your healer<2280>, For in my house<1004> there<369> is neither<369> bread<3899> nor<369> cloak<8071>; You should not appoint<7760> me ruler<7101> of the people<5971>."
8For Jerusalem<3389> has stumbled<3782> and Judah<3063> has fallen<5307>, Because<3588> their speech<3956> and their actions<4611> are against<413> the LORD<3068>, To rebel<4784> against His glorious<3519> presence<5869>.
9The expression<1971> of their faces<6440> bears<6030> witness<6030> against them, And they display<5046> their sin<2403> like Sodom<5467>; They do not even conceal<3582> it. Woe<188> to them! For they have brought<1580> evil<7463> on themselves.
10Say<559> to the righteous<6662> that it will go well<2895> with them, For they will eat<398> the fruit<6529> of their actions<4611>.
11Woe<188> to the wicked<7563>! It will go badly<7451> with him, For what<1576><3027> he deserves<1576><3027> will be done<6213> to him.
12O My people<5971>! Their oppressors<5065> are children<5953>, And women<802> rule<4910> over them. O My people<5971>! Those who guide<833> you lead<8582> you astray<8582> And confuse<1104> the direction<1870> of your paths<734>.
13The LORD<3068> arises<5324> to contend<7378>, And stands<5975> to judge<1777> the people<5971>.
14The LORD<3068> enters<935> into judgment<4941> with the elders<2205> and princes<8269> of His people<5971>, "It is you who have devoured<1197> the vineyard<3754>; The plunder<1500> of the poor<6041> is in your houses<1004>.
15"What<4100> do you mean by crushing<1792> My people<5971> And grinding<2912> the face<6440> of the poor<6041>?" Declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068> of hosts<6635>.
16Moreover, the LORD<3068> said<559>, "Because<3282><3588> the daughters<1323> of Zion<6726> are proud<1361> And walk<1980> with heads<1627> held<5186> high<5186> and seductive<8265> eyes<5869>, And go<1980> along with mincing<2952> steps<2952> And tinkle<5913> the bangles<5913> on their feet<7272>,
17Therefore the Lord<136> will afflict<8197> the scalp<6936> of the daughters<1323> of Zion<6726> with scabs<8197>, And the LORD<3068> will make<6168> their foreheads<6596> bare<6168>."
18In that day<3117> the Lord<136> will take<5493> away<5493> the beauty<8597> of their anklets<5914>, headbands<7636>, crescent<7720> ornaments<7720>,
19dangling<5188> earrings<5188>, bracelets<8285>, veils<7479>,
20headdresses<6287>, ankle<6807> chains<6807>, sashes<7196>, perfume<1004><5315> boxes<1004>, amulets<3908>,
21finger<2885> rings<2885>, nose<639> rings<5141>,
22festal<4254> robes<4254>, outer<4595> tunics<4595>, cloaks<4304>, money<2754> purses<2754>,
23hand<1549> mirrors<1549>, undergarments<5466>, turbans<6797> and veils<7289>.
24Now it will come<1961> about that instead<8478> of sweet<1314> perfume<1314> there will be putrefaction<4716>; Instead<8478> of a belt<2290>, a rope<5364>; Instead<8478> of well-set<4748> hair<4748>, a plucked-out<7144> scalp<7144>; Instead<8478> of fine<6614> clothes<6614>, a donning<4228> of sackcloth<8242>; And branding<3587> instead<8478> of beauty<3308>.
25Your men<4962> will fall<5307> by the sword<2719> And your mighty<1369> ones<1369> in battle<4421>.
26And her gates<6607> will lament<578> and mourn<56>, And deserted<5352> she will sit<3427> on the ground<776>.
