BSB

For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

BSB

the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,

BSB

the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.

BSB

“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

BSB

The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

BSB

A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”

BSB

On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”

BSB

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

BSB

The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

BSB

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

BSB

Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

BSB

Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

BSB

The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

BSB

The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

BSB

Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

BSB

The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

BSB

the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

BSB

In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;

BSB

their pendants, bracelets, and veils;

BSB

their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;

BSB

their signet rings and nose rings;

BSB

their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;

BSB

and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.

BSB

Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

BSB

Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.

BSB

And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
