ASV_Strong : Isaiah 3
1. For[H113], behold, the Lord, Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], doth take away[H5493] from Jerusalem[H3389] and from Judah[H3063] stay[H4937] and staff[H4938], the whole stay[H4937] of bread[H3899], and the whole[H3605] stay[H4937] of water[H4325];
2. the mighty man[H1368], and the man[H376] of war[H4421]; the judge[H8199], and the prophet[H5030], and the diviner[H7080], and the elder[H2205];
3. the captain[H8269] of fifty[H2572], and the honorable[H5375] man[H6440], and the counsellor[H3289], and the expert[H2450] artificer[H2791], and the skilful[H2450] enchanter[H3908].
4. And I will give[H5414] children[H5288] to be their princes[H8269], and babes[H8586] shall rule over them[H4910].
5. And the people[H5971] shall be oppressed[H5065], every one[H376] by another[H376], and every one[H376] by his neighbor[H7453]: the child[H5288] shall behave himself proudly[H7292] against the old[H2205] man[H7034], and the base against the honorable[H3513].
6. When a man[H376] shall take hold[H8610] of his brother[H251] in the house[H1004] of his father[H1], saying[H8071], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler[H7101], and let this ruin[H4384] be under thy hand[H3027];
7. in that day[H3117] shall he lift up[H5375] his voice[H559], saying, I will not be a healer[H2280]; for in my house[H1004] is neither bread[H3899] nor clothing[H8071]: ye shall not make[H7760] me ruler[H7101] of the people[H5971].
8. For Jerusalem[H3389] is ruined[H3782], and Judah[H3063] is fallen[H5307]; because their tongue[H3956] and their doings[H4611] are against Jehovah[H3068], to provoke[H4784] the eyes[H5869] of his glory[H3519].
9. The show[H1971] of their countenance[H6440] doth witness against them[H6030]; and they declare[H5046] their sin[H2403] as Sodom[H5467], they hide[H3582] it not[H188]. Woe unto their soul[H5315]! for they have done[H1580] evil unto themselves[H7451].
10. Say[H559] ye of the righteous[H6662], that it shall be well[H2896] with him[H398]; for they shall eat the fruit[H6529] of their doings[H4611].
11. Woe[H188] unto the wicked[H7563]! it shall be ill[H7451] with him[H3027]; for what his hands have done[H1576] shall be done unto him[H6213].
12. As for my people[H5971], children[H5953] are their oppressors[H5065], and women[H802] rule[H4910] over them[H5971]. O my people, they that lead[H833] thee cause thee to err[H8582], and destroy[H1104] the way[H1870] of thy paths[H734].
13. Jehovah[H3068] standeth up[H5324] to contend[H7378], and standeth[H5975] to judge[H1777] the peoples[H5971].
14. Jehovah[H3068] will enter[H935] into judgment[H4941] with the elders[H2205] of his people[H5971], and the princes[H8269] thereof[H1197]: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard[H3754]; the spoil[H1500] of the poor[H6041] is in your houses[H1004]:
15. what mean ye that ye crush[H1792] my people[H5971], [H1792] and grind[H2912] the face[H6440] of the poor[H6041]? saith[H5002] the Lord[H136], Jehovah[H136] of hosts[H6635].
16. Moreover Jehovah[H3068] said[H559], Because[H3282] the daughters[H1323] of Zion[H6726] are haughty[H1361], and walk[H3212] with outstretched[H5186] necks[H1627] and wanton[H8265] eyes[H5869], walking[H3212] and mincing[H2952] as they go[H3212], and making a tinkling[H5913] with their feet[H7272];
17. therefore the Lord[H136] will smite with a scab[H5596] the crown of the head[H6936] of the daughters[H1323] of Zion[H6726], and Jehovah[H3068] will lay bare[H6168] their secret parts[H6596].
18. In that day[H3117] the Lord[H136] will take away[H5493] the beauty[H8597] of their anklets[H5914], and the cauls[H7636], and the crescents[H7720];
19. the pendants[H5188], and the bracelets[H8285], and the mufflers[H7479];
20. the headtires[H6287], and the ankle[H6807] chains[H7196], and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes[H5315], and the amulets[H3908];
21. the rings[H2885], and the nose[H639] - jewels[H5141];
22. the festival robes[H4254], and the mantles[H4595], and the shawls[H4304], and the satchels[H2754];
23. the hand-mirrors[H1549], and the fine linen[H5466], and the turbans[H6797], and the veils[H7289].
24. And it shall come to pass[H1314], that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness[H4716]; and instead of a girdle[H2290], a rope[H5364]; and instead of well set[H4639] hair[H4748], baldness[H7144]; and instead of a robe[H6614], a girding[H4228] of sackcloth[H8242]; branding[H3587] instead of beauty[H3308].
25. Thy men[H4962] shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719], and thy mighty[H1369] in the war[H4421].
26. And her gates[H6607] shall lament[H578] and mourn[H56]; and she shall be desolate[H5352] and sit[H3427] upon the ground[H776].
