Isaiah 3:1 For, behold, the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 doth take away5493 from Jerusalem3389 and from Judah3063 the stay4937 and the staff,4938 the whole stay4937 of bread,3899 and the whole3605 stay4937 of water,43252 The mighty man,1368 and the man376 of war,4421 the judge,8199 and the prophet,5030 and the prudent,7080 and the ancient,22053 The captain8269 of fifty,2572 and the honourable5375 man,6440{Heb. a man eminent in countenance} and the counsellor,3289 and the cunning2450 artificer,2791 and the eloquent995 orator.3908{Or, skillfull of speech}4 And I will give5414 children5288tobe their princes,8269 and babes8586 shall rule4910 over them.
5 And the people5971 shall be oppressed,5065 every one376 by another,376 and every one376 by his neighbour:7453 the child5288 shall behave himself proudly7292 against the ancient,2205 and the base7034 against the honourable.35136 When a man376 shall take hold8610 of his brother251 of the house1004 of his father,1saying, Thou hast clothing,8071 be thou our ruler,7101 and let this ruin4384be under thy hand:30277 In that day3117 shall he swear,5375{Heb. lift up the hand} saying,559 I will not be an healer;2280{Heb. binder up} for in my house1004is neither bread3899 nor clothing:8071 make7760 me not a ruler7101 of the people.59718 For Jerusalem3389 is ruined,3782 and Judah3063 is fallen:5307 because their tongue3956 and their doings4611are against the LORD,3068 to provoke4784 the eyes5869 of his glory.3519

Isaiah 3:12Asfor my people,5971 children5953are their oppressors,5065 and women802 rule4910 over them. O my people,5971 they which lead833 thee{Or, they which call thee blessed} cause thee to err,8582 and destroy1104{Heb. swallow up} the way1870 of thy paths.734
Isaiah 3:13 The LORD3068 standeth up5324 to plead,7378 and standeth5975 to judge1777 the people.597114 The LORD3068 will enter935 into judgment4941 with the ancients2205 of his people,5971 and the princes8269 thereof: for ye have eaten{Or, burnt} up1197 the vineyard;3754 the spoil1500 of the poor6041is in your houses.100415 What mean ye that ye beat17922794 my people5971 to pieces,1792 and grind2912 the faces6440 of the poor?6041 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts.6635
