For, behold, the Lord,
the LORD
of hosts,
doth take away
from Jerusalem
and from Judah
the stay
and the staff,
the whole stay
of bread,
and the whole
stay
of water,
The mighty man,
and the man
of war,
the judge,
and the prophet,
and the prudent,
and the ancient,
The captain
of fifty,
and the honourable
man,
and the counsellor,
and the cunning
artificer,
and the eloquent
orator.

And I will give
children
to be their princes,
and babes
shall rule
over them.
And the people
shall be oppressed,
every one
by another,
and every one
by his neighbour:
the child
shall behave himself proudly
against the ancient,
and the base
against the honourable.

When a man
shall take hold
of his brother
of the house
of his father,
saying, Thou hast clothing,
be thou our ruler,
and let this ruin
be under thy hand:
In 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.
For Jerusalem
is ruined,
and Judah
is fallen:
because their tongue
and their doings
are against the LORD,
to provoke
the eyes
of his glory.

The shew

their sin

they hide
it not. Woe

for they have rewarded
evil

Say

Woe
unto the wicked!
it shall be ill
with him: for the reward
of his hands
shall be given
him.
As for my people,
children
are their oppressors,
and women
rule
over them. O my people,
they which lead
thee cause thee to err,
and destroy
the way
of thy paths.

The LORD

The LORD

of his people,

thereof: for ye have eaten up
the vineyard;
the spoil
of the poor
is in your houses.

Moreover the LORD
saith,
Because
the daughters

eyes,
walking
and mincing
as they go,
and making a tinkling
with their feet:

Therefore the Lord
will smite with a scab
the crown of the head
of the daughters
of Zion,
and the LORD
will discover
their secret parts.
In that day
the Lord
will take away
the bravery
of their tinkling ornaments
about their feet, and their cauls,
and their round tires like the moon,
