Isaiah Chapter 3 KJV

1The calamities coming upon Judah because of sin. 10The different reward of the righteous and the wicked. 12The oppression of the rulers. 16The punishment of the women for their pride. 25The general desolation.
1 For, 1behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 1The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and athe honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and bthe eloquent orator.
4 And I will give 1children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 1And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the 2child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall 1take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 In that day shall he aswear, saying, I will not be an bhealer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For 1Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because 2their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 1The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. 2Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 1Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 1Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be agiven him.
12 As for my people, 1children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, athey which lead thee cause thee to err, and bdestroy the way of thy paths.
13 The 1Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord 1will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye 2have aeaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye 1beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 ¶ Moreover the Lord saith, Because 1the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and awanton eyes, walking and bmincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will 1smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will adiscover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their acauls, and their 1round tires like the moon,
19 The achains, and the bracelets, and the bmufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the atablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair 1baldness; and instead of a stomacher 2a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 1Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy amighty in the war.
26 And 1her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being adesolate shall 2sit upon the ground.
