2

 aThe mightyh1368 manh1368 and the warriorh4421, The judgeh8199 and the propheth5030, The divinerh7080 and the elderh2205,

3

The captainh8269 of fiftyh2572 and the honorableh5375h6440 man, The counselorh3289 and the experth2450 artisanh2796, And the skillfulh995 enchanterh3908.

4

And I will makeh5414 mere  aladsh5288 their princesh8269, And  1capricioush8586 childrenh8586 will ruleh4910 over them,

5

And the peopleh5971a will be  aoppressedh5065, Eachh376 oneh376 by anotherh376, and eachh376 oneh376 by his  bneighborh7453; The youthh5288 will stormh7292 against the elderh2205 And the inferiorh7034 against the honorableh3513.

Whenh3588 a manh376  alaysh8610 holdh8610 of his brotherh251 in his father'sh1 househ1004, saying, "You have a cloakh8071, you shall be our rulerh7101, And theseh2088 ruinsh4384 will be underh8478 your  1chargeh3027,"

7

He will  1protesth5375 on that dayh3117, sayingh559, "I will not be your  2 ahealerh2280, For in my househ1004 thereh369 is neitherh369 breadh3899 norh369 cloakh8071; You should not appointh7760 me rulerh7101 of the peopleh5971a."

8

For  aJerusalemh3389 has stumbledh3782 and Judahh3063 has fallenh5307, Becauseh3588 their  1 bspeechh3956 and their actionsh4611 are againsth413 the LORDh3068, To  crebelh4784 against  2His glorioush3519b presenceh5869.

 1The expressionh1971 of their facesh6440 bearsh6030a witnessh6030a against them, And they displayh5046 their sinh2403b like  aSodomh5467; They do not even concealh3582 it. Woeh188 to  2them! For they have  bbroughth1580 evilh7463a on themselves.

10

Sayh559 to the  arighteoush6662 that it will go wellh2895 with them, For they will eath398 the fruith6529 of their actionsh4611.

11

Woeh188 to the wickedh7563! It will go badlyh7451a with him, For  1 awhath1576h3027 he deservesh1576h3027 will be doneh6213a to him.

12

O My peopleh5971a! Their oppressorsh5065  1are  achildrenh5953c, And womenh802 ruleh4910 over them. O My peopleh5971a!  bThose who guideh833 you leadh8582 you astrayh8582 And confuseh1104 the directionh1870 of your pathsh734.

14

The LORDh3068  aentersh935 into judgmenth4941 with the eldersh2205 and princesh8269 of His peopleh5971a, "It is you who have  bdevouredh1197a the vineyardh3754; The  cplunderh1500 of the poorh6041 is in your housesh1004.

15

"Whath4100 do you mean by  acrushingh1792 My peopleh5971a And grindingh2912 the faceh6440 of the poorh6041?" Declaresh5002 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635.

17

Therefore the Lordh136 will afflicth8197c the scalph6936 of the daughtersh1323 of Zionh6726 with scabsh8197c, And the LORDh3068 will makeh6168 their foreheadsh6596 bareh6168."

18

In that dayh3117 the Lordh136 will takeh5493 awayh5493 the beautyh8597 of their ankletsh5914, headbandsh7636,  acrescenth7720 ornamentsh7720,
