For, behold, 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,
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
And the diviner and the elder;
The judge and the prophet,
And the diviner and the elder;
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.

And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”

And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.”
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.”

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
The perfume boxes, the charms,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
The outer garments, the purses,
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
