## Text

[1] For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts
is about to remove
from Jerusalem and Judah
both supply and support:
the whole supply of food and water, [2] the mighty man and the warrior,
the judge and the prophet,
the soothsayer and the elder, [3] the commander of fifty and the dignitary,
the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter. [4] “I will make mere lads their leaders,
and children will rule over them.” [5] The people will oppress one another,
man against man, neighbor against neighbor;
the young will rise up against the old,
and the base against the honorable. [6] A man will seize his brother
within his father’s house:
“You have a cloak—you be our leader!
Take charge of this heap of rubble.” [7] On that day he will cry aloud:
“I am not a healer.
I have no food or clothing in my house.
Do not make me leader of the people!” [8] For Jerusalem has stumbled
and Judah has fallen
because they spoke and acted against the LORD,
defying His glorious presence. [9] The expression on their faces testifies against them,
and like Sodom they flaunt their sin;
they do not conceal it.
Woe to them,
for they have brought disaster upon themselves. [10] Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor. [11] Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them!
For they will be repaid with what their hands have done. [12] Youths oppress My people,
and women rule over them.
O My people, your guides mislead you;
they turn you from your paths. [13] The LORD arises to contend;
He stands to judge the people. [14] The LORD brings this charge
against the elders and leaders of His people:
“You have devoured the vineyard;
the plunder of the poor is in your houses. [15] Why do you crush My people
and grind the faces of the poor?”
declares the Lord GOD of Hosts. [16] The LORD also says:
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty—
walking with heads held high
and wanton eyes,
prancing and skipping as they go,
jingling the bracelets on their ankles— [17] the Lord will bring sores
on the heads of the daughters of Zion,
and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.” [18] In that day the Lord will take away their finery:
their anklets and headbands and crescents; [19] their pendants, bracelets, and veils; [20] their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes;
their perfume bottles and charms; [21] their signet rings and nose rings; [22] their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses; [23] and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls. [24] Instead of fragrance
there will be a stench;
instead of a belt, a rope;
instead of styled hair, baldness;
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
instead of beauty, shame. [25] Your men will fall by the sword,
and your warriors in battle. [26] And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn;
destitute, she will sit on the ground.
