ULT ISA Chapter 3

◄ ISA 3 ► ║ ═ ©

3 For behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,

is removing from Jerusalem and from Judah

supply and support,

all supply of bread

and all supply of water,

2 warrior and man of war,

judge and prophet

and diviner and elder,

3 commander of fifty and one lifted up of face

and counselor and wise of crafts

and the one instructed of enchantment.

4 And I will make youths their princes,

and children will rule over them.

5 And the people will be oppressed,

a man by a man and a man by his neighbor.

The youth will act insolently against the elderly,

and the despised against the honored.

6 For a man will seize his brother

in the house of his father,

“You have a cloak;

you shall be ruler over us,

and this ruin, under your hand.”

7 On that day he will lift up, saying,

“I will not be a healer,

for in my house there is no bread

and there is no cloak.

Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

8 For Jerusalem has stumbled

and Judah has fallen

because their tongue and their deeds are against Yahweh,

to defy the eyes of his glory.

9 The appearance of their faces witnesses against them,

and they declare their sin, like Sodom;

they do not hide it.

Woe to their soul,

for they have recompensed harm to themselves.

10 Tell the righteous that it will be well,

for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

11 Woe to the wicked—it will be harm,

for the recompense of his hands will be done to him.

12 My people, its oppressors are a child,

and women rule over it.

My people, the ones guiding you are leading you astray,

and they confuse the way of your paths.

13 Yahweh has stationed himself to contend

and is standing to judge the peoples.

14 Yahweh will enter into judgment

with the elders of his people and its princes:

“And you, you have consumed the vineyard;

the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 What to you, you crush my people

and you grind the faces of the poor?”

—the declaration of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

16 And Yahweh said,

“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,

and they walk, neck outstretched

and eyes winking,

they go walking and mincing,

and they tinkle with their feet,

17 so the Lord will make scabby the pate of the daughters of Zion,

and Yahweh will expose their forehead.”

18 On that day the Lord will remove the splendor of the anklets and the headbands and the crescents, 19 the pendants and the bracelets and the veils, 20 the headdresses and the ankle chains and the sashes and the boxes of perfume and the amulets, 21 the signet rings and the rings of the nose, 22 the festal robes and the capes and the cloaks and the purses, 23 and the mirrors and the linen garments and the turbans and the veils.

24 And it will be, instead of perfume, a stench will be,

and instead of a belt, a rope,

and instead of the craft [of] hairdo, baldness,

and instead of a robe, girding of sackcloth,

branding instead of beauty.

25 Your men will fall by the sword,

and your might, in battle.

26 And her gates will lament and mourn,

and she will be emptied; she will sit on the ground.
