Isaiah 3

3
Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem
1#Lev 26:26; Isa 1:24 For now the Lord,
the Lord of Hosts,
takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
the stock and the store,
the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2#Eze 17:13 the mighty man and the man of war,
the judge and the prophet,
and the prudent and the ancient,
3the captain of fifty and the honorable man,
the counselor and the skillful artisan, and the eloquent orator.
4#Ecc 10:16 I will give youths to be their princes,
and unweaned children shall rule over them.
5#Jer 9:3–8 The people shall be oppressed,
every one by another, and every one by his neighbor;
the youth shall behave himself proudly against the elder,
and the inferior against the honorable.
6#Isa 4:1 When a man shall take hold of his brother
in the house of his father saying,
“You have clothing; be our ruler,
and let this ruin be under your power,”
7#Hos 5:13 in that day he shall swear saying,
“I will not be a healer.
For in my house is neither bread nor clothing;
do not make me a ruler of the people.”
8For Jerusalem is ruined,
and Judah is fallen,
because their tongue and their deeds are against the Lord,
to provoke the eyes of His glory.
9#Ge 13:13; Ro 6:23 The expression of their countenance witnesses against them,
and they declare their sin as Sodom;
they hide it not.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.
10#Ecc 8:12; Dt 28:1–14 Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11#Dt 28:15–68; Ecc 8:13 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12#Isa 3:4 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O My people, those who lead you cause you to err,
and destroy the way of your paths.
13#Mic 6:2 The Lord stands up to plead
and stands to judge the people.
14#Job 22:4; Ps 143:2 The Lord will enter into judgment
with the elders and the princes of His people:
For you have eaten up the vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15#Ps 94:5 What do you mean that you beat My people to pieces
and grind the faces of the poor?
says the Lord God of Hosts.
16#Isa 4:4; 32:9–11 Moreover the Lord says:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks
and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they go,
and making a tinkling with their feet,
17therefore, the Lord will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will make their foreheads bare.
18#Jdg 8:21In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the ankle ornaments, and the headbands, and the crescent ornaments, 19the chains, and the bracelets, and the veils, 20#Ex 39:28the bonnets, the leg ornaments, the sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 21#Ge 24:47the finger rings, nose rings, 22festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, purses, 23hand mirrors, and undergarments, hoods, and veils.
24#Isa 22:12; La 2:10 Instead of sweet perfume there shall be a stench;
and instead of a belt, a rope;
and instead of well-set hair, baldness;
and instead of fine clothes, a girding of sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.
25Your men shall fall by the sword,
and your mighty in the war.
26#Jer 14:2; La 2:10 Her gates shall lament and mourn,
and she, being desolate, shall sit on the ground.
