Isaiah 以赛亚书03

3See now, the Lord, the Lord Almighty¹, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: all supplies of food and all supplies of water,
2the hero and warrior², the judge and prophet, the soothsayer and elder,
3the captain of fifty and man of rank, the counselor³, skilled craftsman⁴ and clever enchanter.
4I will make boys their officials; mere⁵ children will govern them.
5People will oppress each other- man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the base against the honorable.
6A man will seize one of his brothers at his father's home, and say, "You have a cloak, you be our leader; take charge of this heap of ruins!"
7But in that day he will cry out, "I have no remedy. I have no food or clothing in my house; do not make me the leader of the people."
8Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord , defying his glorious presence.
9The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe⁶ to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
10Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
12Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.
13The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people.
14The Lord enters into judgment⁷ against the elders and leaders of his people: "It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder⁸ from the poor is in your houses.
15What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?" declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
16The Lord says, "The women of Zion are haughty⁹, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting¹⁰ with their eyes, tripping along with mincing¹¹ steps, with ornaments¹² jingling¹³ on their ankles.
17Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald."
18In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,
19the earrings¹⁴ and bracelets¹⁵ and veils,
20the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms,
21the signet rings and nose rings,
22the fine robes and the capes¹⁶ and cloaks, the purses
23and mirrors, and the linen¹⁷ garments and tiaras and shawls.
24Instead of fragrance¹⁸ there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.
25Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors¹⁹ in battle.
26The gates of Zion will lament²⁰ and mourn; destitute²¹, she will sit on the ground.
