== Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah), Chapter 3 ==

<named id="1"/>1 For, behold, the L-rd, HaShem of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water;

<named id="2"/>2 The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;

<named id="3"/>3 The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter.

<named id="4"/>4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

<named id="5"/>5 And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable,

<named id="6"/>6 For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'

<named id="7"/>7 In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.'

<named id="8"/>8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against HaShem, to provoke the eyes of His glory.

<named id="9"/>9 The show 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 wrought evil unto themselves.

<named id="10"/>10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

<named id="11"/>11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him.

<named id="12"/>12 As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

<named id="13"/>13 HaShem standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.

<named id="14"/>14 HaShem will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses;

<named id="15"/>15 What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the L-rd, the GOD of hosts.

<named id="16"/>16 Moreover HaShem said: 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;

<named id="17"/>17 Therefore the L-rd will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and HaShem will lay bare their secret parts.

<named id="18"/>18 In that day the L-rd will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents;

<named id="19"/>19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;

<named id="20"/>20 the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets;

<named id="21"/>21 the rings, and the nose-jewels;

<named id="22"/>22 the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles;

<named id="23"/>23 and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles.

<named id="24"/>24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.

<named id="25"/>25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

<named id="26"/>26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground.
