Isaiah 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 and the warrior ^H376 H4421,

The judge ^H8199 and the prophet ^H5030,

The diviner ^H7080 and the elder ^H2205,

The captain ^H8269 of fifty ^H2572 and the esteemed ^H5375 H6440 person,

The counselor ^H3289 and the expert ^H2450 artisan ^H2796,

And the skillful ^H995 enchanter ^H3908.

And I will make ^H5414 mere boys ^H5288 their leaders ^H8269,

And [fn]mischievous ^H8586 children will rule ^H4910 over them,

And the people ^H5971 will be oppressed ^H5065,

Each ^H376 one ^H376 by another ^H376, and each ^H376 one ^H376 by his neighbor ^H7453;

The youth ^H5288 will assault ^H7292 the elder ^H2205,

And the contemptible ^H7034 person will assault the one honored ^H3513.

When ^H3588 a man ^H376 lays ^H8610 hold ^H8610 of his brother ^H251 in his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004, saying,

“You have a cloak ^H8071, you shall be our ruler ^H7101!

And these ^H2088 ruins ^H4384 will be under ^H8478 your [fn]authority ^H3027,”

He will [fn]protest ^H5375 on that day ^H3117, saying ^H559,

“I will not be your [fn]healer ^H2280,

For in my house ^H1004 there ^H369 is ^H369 neither ^H369 bread ^H3899 nor ^H369 cloak ^H8071;

You should not appoint ^H7760 me ruler ^H7101 of the people ^H5971.”

For Jerusalem ^H3389 has stumbled ^H3782 and Judah ^H3063 has fallen ^H5307,

Because ^H3588 their [fn]speech ^H3956 and their actions ^H4611 are against ^H413 the LORD ^H3068,

To rebel ^H4784 against [fn]His glorious ^H3519 presence ^H5869.

[fn]The expression ^H1971 of their faces ^H6440 testifies ^H6030 against them,

And they [fn]display ^H5046 their sin ^H2403 like Sodom ^H5467;

They do not even conceal ^H3582 it.

Woe ^H188 to [fn]them!

For they have done ^H1580 evil ^H7451 to themselves.

Say ^H559 to the righteous ^H6662 that it will go well ^H2895 for them,

For they will eat ^H398 the fruit ^H6529 of their actions ^H4611.

Woe ^H188 to the wicked ^H7563! It will go badly ^H7451 for him,

For [fn]what ^H1576 H3027 he deserves ^H1576 H3027 will be done ^H6213 to him.

My people ^H5971! Their oppressors ^H5065 treat ^H5953 them violently ^H5953,

And women ^H802 rule ^H4910 over them.

My people ^H5971! Those who guide ^H833 you lead ^H8582 you astray ^H8582

And confuse ^H1104 the direction ^H1870 of your paths ^H734.

The LORD ^H3068 arises ^H5324 to contend ^H7378,

And stands ^H5975 to judge ^H1777 the people ^H5971.

The LORD ^H3068 enters ^H935 into judgment ^H4941 with the elders ^H2205 and leaders ^H8269 of His people ^H5971,

“It is you who have [fn]devoured ^H1197 the vineyard ^H3754;

The goods ^H1500 stolen ^H1500 from the poor ^H6041 are in your houses ^H1004.

“What ^H4100 do you mean by crushing ^H1792 My people ^H5971

And [fn]oppressing ^H2912 the face ^H6440 of the poor ^H6041?”

Declares ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635.

Moreover, the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559, “Because ^H3282 H3588 the daughters ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 are ^H1361 haughty ^H1361

And walk ^H1980 with [fn]heads ^H1627 held ^H5186 high ^H5186 and seductive ^H8265 eyes ^H5869,

And go ^H1980 along with mincing ^H2952 steps ^H2952

And jingle ^H5913 the ^H5913 anklets ^H5913 on their feet ^H7272,

The Lord ^H136 will afflict ^H5596 the scalp ^H6936 of the daughters ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 with ^H5596 scabs ^H5596,

And the LORD ^H3068 will make ^H6168 their foreheads ^H6596 bare ^H6168.”

On that day ^H3117 the Lord ^H136 will take ^H5493 away ^H5493 the beauty ^H8597 of their anklets ^H5914, headbands ^H7636, crescent ^H7720 ornaments ^H7720,

Now it will come ^H1961 about ^H1961 that instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 balsam ^H1314 oil ^H1314 there will be a stench ^H4716;

Instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 a belt ^H2290, a rope ^H5364;

Instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 well-set ^H4748 hair ^H4748, a plucked-out ^H7144 scalp ^H7144;

Instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 fine ^H6614 clothes ^H6614, a robe ^H4228 of sackcloth ^H8242;

And branding ^H3587 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 beauty ^H3308.

Your men ^H4962 will fall ^H5307 by the sword ^H2719

And your [fn]mighty ^H1369 ones ^H1369 in battle ^H4421.

And her [fn]gates ^H6607 will lament ^H578 and mourn ^H56,

And she will sit ^H3427 deserted ^H5352 on the ground ^H776.
