from Jerusalem
<03389>

and from Judah
<03063>

the stay
<04937>

The mighty man
<01368>_,

and the man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

the judge
<08199> (8802)_,

and the prophet
<05030>_,

and the prudent
<07080> (8802)_,

and the ancient
<02205>_,

3:3

The captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>_,

and the honourable
<05375> (8803)

man
<06440>_,

and the counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

and the cunning
<02450>

artificer
<02791>_,

and the eloquent
<0995> (8737)

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

children
<05288>

[to be] their princes

shall rule
<04910> (8799)

over them.

3:5

And the people
<05971>

shall be oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,

every one
<0376>

by another
<0376>_,

and every one
<0376>

by his neighbour
<07453>_:

the child
<05288>

shall behave himself proudly
<07292> (8799)

against the ancient

for in my house
<01004>

[is] neither bread
<03899>

nor clothing
<08071>_:

make
<07760> (8799)

For Jerusalem
<03389>

is ruined
<03782> (8804)_,

is fallen

because their tongue
<03956>

and their doings
<04611>

[are] against the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke
<04784> (8687)

the eyes
<05869>

of his glory
<03519>_.

The shew
<01971>

of their countenance
<06440>

doth witness against them
<06030> (8804)_;

and they declare
<05046> (8689)

their sin
<02403>

as Sodom
<05467>_,

they hide
<03582> (8765)

[it] not. Woe
<0188>

unto their soul
<05315>_!

for they have rewarded
<01580> (8804)

evil
<07451>

unto themselves.

Say
<0559> (8798)

ye to the righteous

[with him]: for they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the fruit
<06529>

of their doings
<04611>_.

3:11

Woe
<0188>

unto the wicked
<07563>_!

[it shall be] ill
<07451>

him. {given...: Heb. done to him}

[As for] my people
<05971>_,

children
<05953> (8781)

[are] their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_,

and women
<0802>

rule
<04910> (8804)

over them. O my people
<05971>_,

they which lead
<0833> (8764)

thee cause [thee] to err
<08582> (8688)_,

and destroy
<01104> (8765)

the way

of thy paths
<0734>_.

3:13

The LORD
<03068>

standeth up
<05324> (8737)

to plead
<07378> (8800)_,

and standeth
<05975> (8802)

to judge

the people

<03068>

will enter
<0935> (8799)

into judgment
<04941>

with the ancients
<02205>

of his people
<05971>_,

and the princes
<08269>

thereof: for ye have eaten up
<01197> (8765)

the vineyard
<03754>_;

the spoil
<01500>

of the poor
<06041>

[is] in your houses
<01004>_.

{eaten: or, burnt}

3:15

What mean ye [that] ye beat
<01792> (0)

my people
<05971>

to pieces
<01792> (8762)_,

and grind
<02912> (8799)

the faces
<06440>

of the poor
<06041>_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>_.

3:16

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Because
<03282>

the daughters
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>

are haughty
<01361> (8804)_,

and walk
<03212> (8799)

with stretched forth
<05186> (8803)

necks
<01627>

and wanton
<08265> (8764)

eyes
<05869>_,

walking
<01980> (8800)

and mincing
<02952> (8800)

[as] they go
<03212> (8799)_,

and making a tinkling
<05913> (8762)

with their feet
<07272>_:

{wanton...: Heb. deceiving with their eyes} {mincing: or, tripping nicely}
