1For behold, the Lord, theLord of hosts,
Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
The[a] stock and the store,
The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;
2The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
And the diviner and the elder;
3The captain of fifty and the[b]honorable man,
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.

4“I will give children[c]to be their princes,
And[d]babes shall rule over them.
5The people will be oppressed,
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the[e]elder,
And the[f]base toward the honorable.”

6When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father,saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
Andlet these ruinsbe under your[g]power,”
7In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cureyour ills,
For in my houseis neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

8For Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against theLord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hideit.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.

10“Say to the righteous thatit shall be wellwith them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11Woe to the wicked!It shall be illwith him,
For the reward of his hands shall be[h]given him.
12As for My people, childrenare their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you[i]causeyou to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”

13TheLord stands up to[j]plead,
And stands to judge the people.
14TheLord will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“For you have[k]eaten up the vineyard;
The plunder of the pooris in your houses.
15What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the LordGod of hosts.

“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with[l]outstretched necks
And[m]wanton eyes,
Walking and[n]mincingas they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
17Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And theLord will uncover their secret parts.”

18In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
The jingling anklets, the[o]scarves, and the crescents;
19The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
21    and the rings;
The nose jewels,
22    the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
23    and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And[p]branding instead of beauty.
25Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your[q]mighty in the war.

26Her gates shall lament and mourn,
And shebeing desolate shall sit on the ground.
