Yeshayah 3
3
1For, hinei, HaAdon, Hashem Tzva'os, doth take away from Yerushalayim and from Yehudah supply and support, the whole supply of lechem, and the whole supply of mayim.
2The Gibbor, and the Ish Milchamah, the Shofet, and the Navi, the Diviner, and the Zaken,
3The sar chamishim, the men of rank and yo'etz (counselor), and masters in art, and the expert enchanter.
4And I will make ne'arim (lads) to be their sarim, and babes shall rule over them.
5And HaAm shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his re'a; the na'ar shall behave himself proudly against the zaken, and the base against the honorable.
6When an ish shall take hold of his brother of his bais avi, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our katzin, and let this ruin be under thy yad;
7In Yom Hahu shall he protest, saying, I am no curer of your ills; for in my bais is neither lechem nor simlah (clothing); make me not a Katzin Am.
8For Yerushalayim is ruined, and Yehudah fallen; because their leshon and their deeds are against Hashem, to provoke the eyes of His kavod.
9The show of their countenance doth testify against them; and they make known their chet like S'dom; they conceal it not. Oy to their nefesh! For they do ra'ah unto themselves.
10Say ye to the tzaddik, that it shall be tov with him; for they shall eat the p'ri of their deeds.
11Oy to the rasha! It shall be rah with him; for what his hands have wrought will be done to him.
12As for My people, children are their nogesim (taskmasters), and nashim rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to go astray, misleading and swallowing up the Derech Orkhot (way of paths) of thee.
13 Hashem hath stood to accuse, and standeth for Din (judging) the Amim (Nations).
14 Hashem will enter into mishpat with the Ziknei Amo (Elders of His People), and the sarim thereof; for ye have eaten up the kerem (vineyard); the plunder of the oni is in your batim (houses).
15What mean ye that ye crush Ami, and grind the faces of the aniyim? saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os.
16Moreover Hashem saith, Because the Banot Tziyon are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and winking#3:16 flirtatious eyes, walking and tripping along as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;#3:16 ankle rings
17Therefore Adonoi will strike with a scab the kodkod (top of the head) Banot Tziyon, and Hashem will lay bare their nakedness.
18In Yom Hahu, Adonoi will take away the fine show of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their headbands, and their crescent necklaces,
19The earrings, and the bracelets, and the veils,
20The diadems, and the ankle chains, and the girdles, and the perfume bottles, and the lechashim (amulets),
21The taba'ot (rings), and nose rings,
22The machalatzot (festal robes), and the mantles, and the cloaks, and the charitim (money purses),
23The hand mirrors, and the sedinim (linen coverings), and the tzenifot (turbans), and the veils.
24And it shall come to pass, that instead of fragrance there shall be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich cloak, a wrapping of sak (sackcloth); and branding instead of yofi (beauty).
25Thy men shall fall by the cherev, and thy gevurah in milchamah.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon ha'aretz.

Isaiah 3
3
1For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah
stay and staff,
the whole stay of bread,
and the whole stay of water;
2the mighty man and the soldier,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3the captain of fifty
and the man of rank,
the counselor and the skilful magician
and the expert in charms.
4And I will make boys their princes,
and babes shall rule over them.
5And the people will oppress one another,
every man his fellow
and every man his neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
and the base fellow to the honorable.
6When a man takes hold of his brother
in the house of his father, saying:
“You have a mantle;
you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
shall be under your rule”;
7in that day he will speak out, saying:
“I will not be a healer;
in my house there is neither bread nor mantle;
you shall not make me
leader of the people.”
8For Jerusalem has stumbled,
and Judah has fallen;
because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
defying his glorious presence.
9Their partiality witnesses against them;
they proclaim their sin like Sodom,
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,
for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
12My people—children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, your leaders mislead you,
and confuse the course of your paths.
13The Lord has taken his place to contend,
he stands to judge his people.#3.13 Gk Syr: Heb judge peoples
14The Lord enters into judgment
with the elders and princes of his people:
“It is you who have devoured the vineyard,
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15What do you mean by crushing my people,
by grinding the face of the poor?”
says the Lord God of hosts.
16The Lord said:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
tinkling with their feet;
17the Lord will smite with a scab
the heads of the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents; 19the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarfs; 20the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21the signet rings and nose rings; 22the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23the garments of gauze, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24Instead of perfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a girdle, a rope;
and instead of well-set hair, baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
instead of beauty, shame.#3.24 One ancient Ms: Heb lacks shame
25Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn;
ravaged, she shall sit upon the ground.
