Isaiah 3:4-26

3:4

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

children
<05288>

[to be] their princes
<08269>_,

and babes
<08586>

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
<02205>_,

and the base
<07034> (8737)

against the honourable
<03513> (8737)_.

3:6

When a man
<0376>

shall take hold
<08610> (8799)

of his brother
<0251>

of the house
<01004>

of his father
<01>_,

[saying], Thou hast clothing
<08071>_,

be thou our ruler
<07101>_,

and [let] this ruin
<04384>

[be] under thy hand
<03027>_:

3:7

In that day
<03117>

shall he swear
<05375> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I will not be an healer
<02280> (8802)_;

for in my house
<01004>

[is] neither bread
<03899>

nor clothing
<08071>_:

make
<07760> (8799)

me not a ruler
<07101>

of the people
<05971>_.

{swear: Heb. lift up the hand} {healer: Heb. binder up}

3:8

For Jerusalem
<03389>

is ruined
<03782> (8804)_,

and Judah
<03063>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_:

because their tongue
<03956>

and their doings
<04611>

[are] against the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke
<04784> (8687)

the eyes
<05869>

of his glory
<03519>_.

3:9

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.

3:10

Say
<0559> (8798)

ye to the righteous
<06662>_,

that [it shall be] well
<02896>

[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>

[with him]: for the reward
<01576>

of his hands
<03027>

shall be given
<06213> (8735)

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

3:12

[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
<01870>

of thy paths
<0734>_.

{lead...: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}

3:13

The LORD
<03068>

standeth up
<05324> (8737)

to plead
<07378> (8800)_,

and standeth
<05975> (8802)

to judge
<01777> (8800)

the people
<05971>_.

3:14

The LORD
<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}

3:17

Therefore the Lord
<0136>

will smite with a scab
<05596> (8765)

the crown of the head
<06936>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

will discover
<06168> (8762)

their secret parts
<06596>_.

{discover: Heb. make naked}

3:18

In that day
<03117>

the Lord
<0136>

will take away
<05493> (8686)

the bravery
<08597>

of [their] tinkling ornaments
<05914>

[about their feet], and [their] cauls
<07636>_,

and [their] round tires like the moon
<07720>_,

{cauls: or, networks}

3:19

The chains
<05188>_,

and the bracelets
<08285>_,

and the mufflers
<07479>_,

{chains: or, sweet balls} {mufflers: or, spangled ornaments}

3:20

The bonnets
<06287>_,

and the ornaments of the legs
<06807>_,

and the headbands
<07196>_,

and the tablets
<05315> <01004>_,

and the earrings
<03908>_,

{tablets: Heb. houses of the soul}

3:21

The rings
<02885>_,

and nose
<0639>

jewels
<05141>_,

3:22

The changeable suits of apparel
<04254>_,

and the mantles
<04595>_,

and the wimples
<04304>_,

and the crisping pins
<02754>_,

3:23

The glasses
<01549>_,

and the fine linen
<05466>_,

and the hoods
<06797>_,

and the vails
<07289>_.

3:24

And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell
<01314>

there shall be stink
<04716>_;

and instead of a girdle
<02290>

a rent
<05364>_;

and instead of well set
<04639>

hair
<04748>

baldness
<07144>_;

and instead of a stomacher
<06614>

a girding
<04228>

of sackcloth
<08242>_;

[and] burning
<03587>

instead of beauty
<03308>_.

3:25

Thy men
<04962>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and thy mighty
<01369>

in the war
<04421>_.

{mighty: Heb. might}

3:26

And her gates
<06607>

shall lament
<0578> (8804)

and mourn
<056> (8804)_;

and she [being] desolate
<05352> (8738)

shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon the ground
<0776>_.

{desolate: or, emptied: Heb. cleansed}
