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.

[5] And the peopleH5971 shall be oppressed,H5065(NiphPerf) every oneH376 by another,H376 and every oneH376 by his neighbour:H7453 the childH5288 shall behave himself proudlyH7292(QalImpf) against the ancient,H2205 and the baseH7034(NiphPtc) against the honourable.H3513(NiphPtc) [6] When a manH376 shall take holdH8610(QalImpf) of his brotherH251 of the houseH1004 of his father,H1 [saying], Thou hast clothing,H8071 be thou our ruler,H7101 and [let] this ruinH4384 [be] under thy hand:H3027 [7] In that dayH3117 shall he swear,H5375(QalImpf) saying,H559(QalInf) I will not be an healer;H2280(QalActPtc) for in my houseH1004 [is] neither breadH3899 nor clothing:H8071 makeH7760(QalImpf) me not a rulerH7101 of the people.H5971 [8] For JerusalemH3389 is ruined,H3782(QalPerf) and JudahH3063 is fallen:H5307(QalPerf) because their tongueH3956 and their doingsH4611 [are] against the Lord,H3068 to provokeH4784(HiphInf) the eyesH5869 of his glory.H3519 [9] The shewH1971 of their countenanceH6440 doth witness against them;H6030(QalPerf) and they declareH5046(HiphPerf) their sinH2403 as Sodom,H5467 they hideH3582(PielPerf) [it] not. WoeH188 unto their soul!H5315 for they have rewardedH1580(QalPerf) evilH7451 unto themselves.

O my people,H5971 they which leadH833(PielPtc) thee cause [thee] to err,H8582(HiphPtc) and destroyH1104(PielPerf) the wayH1870 of thy paths.H734 [13] The LordH3068 standeth upH5324(NiphPtc) to plead,H7378(QalInf) and standethH5975(QalActPtc) to judgeH1777(QalInf) the people.H5971 [14] The LordH3068 will enterH935(QalImpf) into judgmentH4941 with the ancientsH2205 of his people,H5971 and the princesH8269 thereof: for ye have eaten upH1197(PielPerf) the vineyard;H3754 the spoilH1500 of the poorH6041 [is] in your houses.H1004 [15] What mean ye [that] ye beatH1792 my peopleH5971 to pieces,H1792(PielImpf) and grindH2912(QalImpf) the facesH6440 of the poor?H6041 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 GodH3069 of hosts.H6635 [16] Moreover the LordH3068 saith,H559(QalImpf) BecauseH3282 the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726 are haughty,H1361(QalPerf) and walkH3212(QalImpf) with stretched forthH5186(QalPasPtc) necksH1627 and wantonH8265(PielPtc) eyes,H5869 walkingH1980(QalInf) and mincingH2952(QalInf) [as] they go,H3212(QalImpf) and making a tinklingH5913(PielImpf) with their feet:H7272 [17] Therefore the LordH136 will smite with a scabH5596(PielPerf) the crown of the headH6936 of the daughtersH1323 of Zion,H6726 and the LordH3068 will discoverH6168(PielImpf) their secret parts.H6596 [18] In that dayH3117 the LordH136 will take awayH5493(HiphImpf) the braveryH8597 of [their] tinkling ornamentsH5914 [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 and the earrings,H3908 [21] The rings,H2885 and noseH639 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 smellH1314 there shall be stink;H4716 and instead of a girdleH2290 a rent;H5364 and instead of well setH4639 hairH4748 baldness;H7144 and instead of a stomacherH6614 a girdingH4228 of sackcloth;H8242 [and] burningH3587 instead of beauty.H3308 [25] Thy menH4962 shall fallH5307(QalImpf) by the sword,H2719 and thy mightyH1369 in the war.H4421 [26] And her gatesH6607 shall lamentH578(QalPerf) and mourn;H56(QalPerf) and she [being] desolateH5352(NiphPerf) shall sitH3427(QalImpf) upon the ground.H776
