World English Bible Classic
[1] For, behold,§ the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support,
the whole supply of bread,
and the whole supply of water;
[2] the mighty man,
the man of war,
the judge,
the prophet,
the diviner,
the elder,
[3] the captain of fifty,
the honorable man,
the counselor,
the skilled craftsman,
and the clever enchanter.
[4] I will give boys to be their princes,
and children shall rule over them.
[5] The people will be oppressed,
everyone by another,
and everyone by his neighbor.
The child will behave himself proudly against the old man,
and the wicked against the honorable.
[6] Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing, you be our ruler,
and let this ruin be under your hand.”
[7] In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer;
for in my house is neither bread nor clothing.
You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
[8] For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen;
because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh,
to provoke the eyes of his glory.
[9] The look of their faces testify against them.
They parade their sin like Sodom.
They don’t hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
[10] Tell the righteous that it will be well with them,
for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
[11] Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them,
for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
[12] As for my people, children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
My people, those who lead you cause you to err,
and destroy the way of your paths. [13] Yahweh stands up to contend,
and stands to judge the peoples.
[14] Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people
and their leaders:
“It is you who have eaten up the vineyard.
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
[15] What do you mean that you crush my people,
and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies. [16] Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant,
and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes,
walking daintily as they go,
jingling ornaments on their feet;
[17] therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion,
and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.” [18] In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces, [19] the earrings, the bracelets, the veils, [20] the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms, [21] the signet rings, the nose rings, [22] the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses, [23] the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
[24] It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness;
instead of a belt, a rope;
instead of well set hair, baldness;
instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.
[25] Your men shall fall by the sword,
and your mighty in the war.
[26] Her gates shall lament and mourn.
She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.

King James Version
[1] For, behold, the Lord, H113 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 doth take away H5493 from Jerusalem H3389 and from Judah H3063 the stay H4937 and the staff, H4938 the whole stay H4937 of bread, H3899 and the whole H3605 stay H4937 of water, H4325 [2] the mighty man, H1368 and the man H376 of war, H4421 the judge, H8199 and the prophet, H5030 and the prudent, H7080 and the ancient, H2205 [3] the captain H8269 of fifty, H2572 and the honourable H5375 man, H6440§ and the counsellor, H3289 and the cunning H2450 artificer, H2791 and the eloquent H995 orator. H3908§ [4] And I will give H5414 children H5288 to be their princes, H8269 and babes H8586 shall rule H4910 over them. [5] And the people H5971 shall be oppressed, H5065 every one H376 by another, H376 and every one H376 by his neighbour: H7453 the child H5288 shall behave himself proudly H7292 against the ancient, H2205 and the base H7034 against the honourable. H3513 [6] When a man H376 shall take hold H8610 of his brother H251 of the house H1004 of his father, H1 saying, Thou hast clothing, H8071 be thou our ruler, H7101 and let this ruin H4384 be under thy hand: H3027 [7] in that day H3117 shall he swear, H5375§ saying, H559 I will H2280 not H3808 be an healer; H2280§ for in my house H1004 is neither bread H3899 nor clothing: H8071 make H7760 me not a ruler H7101 of the people. H5971 [8] For H3588 Jerusalem H3389 is ruined, H3782 and Judah H3063 is fallen: H5307 because H3588 their tongue H3956 and their doings H4611 are against the Lord, H3068 to provoke H4784 the eyes H5869 of his glory. H3519 [9] The shew H1971 of their countenance H6440 doth witness against them; H6030 and they declare H5046 their sin H2403 as Sodom, H5467 they hide H3582 it not. Woe H188 unto their soul! H5315 for H3588 they have rewarded H1580 evil H7451 unto themselves. [10] Say H559 ye to the righteous, H6662 that it shall be well H2896 with him: for they shall eat H398 the fruit H6529 of their doings. H4611 [11] Woe H188 unto the wicked! H7563 it shall be ill H7451 with him: for the reward H1576 of his hands H3027 shall be given H6213 him.§ [12] As for my people, H5971 children H5953 are their oppressors, H5065 and women H802 rule H4910 over them. O my people, H5971 they which lead H833 thee§ cause thee to err, H8582 and destroy H1104§ the way H1870 of thy paths. H734 [13] The Lord H3068 standeth up H5324 to plead, H7378 and standeth H5975 to judge H1777 the people. H5971 [14] The Lord H3068 will enter H935 into judgment H4941 with H5973 the ancients H2205 of his people, H5971 and the princes H8269 thereof: for ye have eaten§ up H1197 the vineyard; H3754 the spoil H1500 of the poor H6041 is in your houses. H1004 [15] What mean ye that ye beat H1792 my people H5971 to pieces, H1792 and grind H2912 the faces H6440 of the poor? H6041 saith H5002 the Lord H136 God H3069 of hosts. H6635

The Daughters of Zion

[16] Moreover the Lord H3068 saith, H559 Because H3282 the daughters H1323 of Zion H6726 are haughty, H1361 and walk H3212 with stretched forth H5186 necks H1627 and wanton H8265 eyes, H5869§ walking H1980 and mincing H2952§ as they go, H3212 and making a tinkling H5913 with their feet: H7272 [17] therefore the Lord H136 will smite with a scab H5596 the crown of the head H6936 of the daughters H1323 of Zion, H6726 and the Lord H3068 will discover H6168§ their secret parts. H6596 [18] In that day H3117 the Lord H136 will take away H5493 H853 the bravery H8597 of their tinkling ornaments H5914 about their feet, and their cauls, H7636§ and their round tires like the moon, H7720 [19] the chains, H5188§ and the bracelets, H8285 and the mufflers, H7479§ [20] the bonnets, H6287 and the ornaments of the legs, H6807 and the headbands, H7196 and the tablets, H5315§ H1004 and the earrings, H3908 [21] the rings, H2885 and nose H639 jewels, H5141 [22] the changeable suits of apparel, H4254 and the mantles, H4595 and the wimples, H4304 and the crisping pins, H2754 [23] the glasses, H1549 and the fine linen, H5466 and the hoods, H6797 and the vails. H7289 [24] And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell H1314 there shall be stink; H4716 and instead of a girdle H2290 a rent; H5364 and instead of well set H4639 hair H4748 baldness; H7144 and instead of a stomacher H6614 a girding H4228 of sackcloth; H8242 and burning H3587 instead of beauty. H3308 [25] Thy men H4962 shall fall H5307 by the sword, H2719 and thy mighty H1369§ in the war. H4421 [26] And her gates H6607 shall lament H578 and mourn; H56 and she being desolate§ H5352 shall sit H3427 upon the ground. H776
