1
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,
2
The
mighty
man,
and
the
man
of
war,
the
judge,
and
the
prophet,
and
the
prudent,
and
the
ancient,
3
The
captain
of
fifty,
and
the
honourable
man,
and
the
counsellor,
and
the
cunning
artificer,
and
the
eloquent
orator.
4
And
I
will
give
children
[to
be]
their
princes,
and
babes
shall
rule
over
them.
5
And
the
people
shall
be
oppressed,
every
one
by
another,
and
every
one
by
his
neighbour:
the
child
shall
behave
himself
proudly
against
the
ancient,
and
the
base
against
the
honourable.
6
When
a
man
shall
take
hold
of
his
brother
of
the
house
of
his
father,
[saying],
Thou
hast
clothing,
be
thou
our
ruler,
and
[let]
this
ruin
[be]
under
thy
hand:
7
In
that
day
shall
he
swear,
saying,
I
will
not
be
an
healer;
for
in
my
house
[is]
neither
bread
nor
clothing:
make
me
not
a
ruler
of
the
people.
8
For
Jerusalem
is
ruined,
and
Judah
is
fallen:
because
their
tongue
and
their
doings
[are]
against
the
LORD,
to
provoke
the
eyes
of
his
glory.
9
The
shew
of
their
countenance
doth
witness
against
them;
and
they
declare
their
sin
as
Sodom,
they
hide
[it]
not.
Woe
unto
their
soul!
for
they
have
rewarded
evil
unto
themselves.
10
Say
ye
to
the
righteous,
that
[it
shall
be]
well
[with
him]:
for
they
shall
eat
the
fruit
of
their
doings.
11
Woe
unto
the
wicked!
[it
shall
be]
ill
[with
him]:
for
the
reward
of
his
hands
shall
be
given
him.
12
[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.
13
The
LORD
standeth
up
to
plead,
and
standeth
to
judge
the
people.
14
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.
15
What
mean
ye
[that]
ye
beat
my
people
to
pieces,
and
grind
the
faces
of
the
poor?
saith
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts.
16
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:
17
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.
18
In
that
day
the
Lord
will
take
away
the
bravery
of
[their]
tinkling
ornaments
[about
their
feet],
and
[their]
cauls,
and
[their]
round
tires
like
the
moon,
19
The
chains,
and
the
bracelets,
and
the
mufflers,
20
The
bonnets,
and
the
ornaments
of
the
legs,
and
the
headbands,
and
the
tablets,
and
the
earrings,
21
The
rings,
and
nose
jewels,
22
The
changeable
suits
of
apparel,
and
the
mantles,
and
the
wimples,
and
the
crisping
pins,
23
The
glasses,
and
the
fine
linen,
and
the
hoods,
and
the
vails.
24
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
[that]
instead
of
sweet
smell
there
shall
be
stink;
and
instead
of
a
girdle
a
rent;
and
instead
of
well
set
hair
baldness;
and
instead
of
a
stomacher
a
girding
of
sackcloth;
[and]
burning
instead
of
beauty.
25
Thy
men
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
thy
mighty
in
the
war.
26
And
her
gates
shall
lament
and
mourn;
and
she
[being]
desolate
shall
sit
upon
the
ground.
