(13:1) 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.
(13:2) The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the
prudent, and the ancient,
(13:3) The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the
cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
(13:4) And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over
them.
(13:5) 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.
(13:6) 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:
(13:7) 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.
(13:8) 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. -- Isaiah 3:1-8
(13:9) The sin of Sodom (homosexuality?) is evil.
(13:9) 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.
(13:10) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings.
(13:11) Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands
shall be given him. -- Isaiah 3:9-11
(13:12) "Women rule over them."
When women are allowed to rule, everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
(13:12) 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.
(13:13) The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
(13:14) 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.
(13:15) What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the
poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. -- Isaiah 3:12-15
(13:16-17) "The Lord will discover their secret parts."
God will "smite with a scab the crown
of the head of the daughters of Zion" and "will discover their secret parts" since he doesn't like the way they
dress and walk.
(3:16) 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:
(13:17) 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.
(13:18) 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,
(13:19) The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
(13:20) The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the
tablets, and the earrings,
(13:21) The rings, and nose jewels,
(13:22) The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the
crisping pins,
(13:23) The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. -- Isaiah 3:16-23
(3:24-25)
God will make sweet smelling things stink, make people bald, and cause men to die in wars.
(13:24) 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.
(13:25) Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
(13:26) And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit
upon the ground.-- Isaiah 3:24-26
13:1 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the stay and the
staff, the whole staff of bread, and the whole stay of water --
13:2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet,
and the prudent, and the ancient;
13:3The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the
eloquent orator.
13:4 And I will give children unto them to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
13:5And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child shall
behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
13:6When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, and shall say: Thou hast clothing,
be thou our ruler, and let not this ruin come under thy hand --
13:7 In that day shall he swear, saying: I will not be a healer; for in my house there is neither bread nor
clothing; make me not a ruler of the people.
13:8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongues and their doings have been against
the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
13:9The show of their countenance doth witness against them, and doth
declare their sin to be even as Sodom, and they cannot hide it. Wo unto their souls, for they have rewarded
evil unto themselves!
13:10Say unto the righteous that it is well with them; for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings.
13:11Wo unto the wicked, for they shall perish; for the reward of their hands shall
be upon them!
13:12And my people, children are their oppressors, andwomen rule over them.O my people,they who lead
thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths.
13:13The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
13:14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people and the princes thereof; for ye have
eaten up the vineyard and the spoil of the poor in your houses.
13:15What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of
Hosts.
13:16 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 --
13:17Therefore 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.
13:18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires
like the moon;
13:19The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers;
13:20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings;
13:21 The rings, and nose jewels;
13:22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and
the wimples, and the crisping-pins;
13:23The glasses, and the fine linen, and hoods, and the veils.
13:24Andit shall come to pass, instead of sweet smell there shall be
stink;and instead of a girdle, a rent; andinstead of well set hair, baldness;and instead
of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth; burning instead of beauty.
13:25Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy
mighty in the war.
13:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate, and shall sit upon
the ground.
