Isaiah 3

3
1For, behold, the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], does take away from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] the supply and the support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water,
2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the elder,
3The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artisan, and the eloquent orator (enchanter).
4And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself arrogantly against the elder, and the base against the honourable.
6When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], youi have clothing, be youi our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under youri hand:
7In 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.
8For Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] is ruined, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to openly provoke/rebel against his glory.
9The show of very faces does witness against them! and they declare their sin as S’dom [Burning], they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10Say you2f to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead youi cause [youi] to err, and destroy the way of youri paths.
13The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.
14The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: for you2f have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
15What mean you2f [that] you2f beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].
16Moreover the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) says, Because the daughters of Tziyon [parched place] are arrogant (proud; lifted up), and walk with stretched forth necks and seductive eyes, walking and mincing (taking short, quick steps) [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17Therefore the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Tziyon [parched place], and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will expose their private parts.
18In that day the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will take away the beauty of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] headbands, and [their] crescents like the moon,
19The chains, and the bracelets, and the veils,
20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the amulets, and the earrings,
21The rings, and nose jewels,
22The fine dresses, and the mantles, and the shawls, and money purses,
23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils.
24And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a belt a rope; and instead of well-set hair baldness; and instead of a rich robe a girding of sackcloth; [and] (slave) branding instead of beauty.
25Your1s men shall fall by the sword, and youri mighty in the war.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate shall sit upon the ground.
