Isaías 3
Nueva Versión Internacional
Juicio sobre Jerusalén y Judá
3 ¡Presten atención!
El Señor, el Señor de los Ejércitos,
retira de Jerusalén y de Judá
todo apoyo y sustento:
toda provisión de pan, toda provisión de agua.
2 Él retira al valiente y al guerrero,
al juez y al profeta,
al adivino y al anciano,
3 al capitán de cincuenta y al dignatario,
al consejero, al artesano experto y al hábil encantador.
4 Les pondré como oficiales a muchachos
y los gobernarán niños caprichosos.
5 El pueblo se oprimirá a sí mismo:
hombre contra hombre, vecino contra vecino,
joven contra anciano,
plebeyo contra noble.
6 Entonces un hombre tomará a su hermano
en la casa de su padre y dirá:
«Sé nuestro líder, pues tienes un manto;
¡hazte cargo de este montón de ruinas!».
7 Pero entonces el otro protestará:
«Yo no soy médico
y en mi casa no hay pan ni manto;
¡no me hagas líder del pueblo!».
8 Jerusalén se tambalea,
Judá se derrumba,
porque su hablar y su actuar son contrarios al Señor:
¡desafían su gloriosa presencia!
9 Su propio descaro los acusa
y, como Sodoma, se jactan de su pecado;
¡ni siquiera lo disimulan!
¡Ay de ellos,
porque causan su propia desgracia!
10 Díganle al justo que le irá bien,
pues gozará del fruto de sus acciones.
11 ¡Ay del malvado,
pues le irá mal!
¡Según la obra de sus manos
se le pagará!
12 ¡Pobre pueblo mío, oprimido por niños
y gobernado por mujeres!
¡Pobre pueblo mío, extraviado por tus guías,
que tuercen el curso de tu senda!
13 El Señor toma su lugar en la corte;
se levanta para enjuiciar al pueblo.
14 El Señor entra en juicio
contra los jefes y líderes de su pueblo:
«¡Ustedes han arruinado la viña
y el despojo del pobre está en sus casas!
15 ¿Con qué derecho aplastan a mi pueblo
y trituran el rostro de los pobres?»,
afirma el Señor, el Señor de los Ejércitos.
16 El Señor dice:
«Las hijas de Sión son tan orgullosas
que caminan con el cuello estirado,
con ojos seductores y pasitos cortos,
haciendo sonar los adornos de sus pies.
17 Por eso el Señor cubrirá de sarna la cabeza de las hijas de Sión;
el Señor las dejará completamente calvas».
18 En aquel día, el Señor arrancará todo adorno: hebillas, diademas, collares, 19 pendientes, pulseras, velos, 20 adornos de la cabeza, cadenillas de los pies, cinturones, frasquitos de perfume, amuletos, 21 anillos, argollas para la nariz, 22 ropas de gala, mantos, capas, bolsos, 23 espejos, telas finas, turbantes y mantillas.
24 Habrá pestilencia en vez de perfume,
soga en vez de cinturón,
calvicie en vez de peinado elegante,
ropa de luto en vez de trajes lujosos,
vergüenza[a] en vez de belleza.
25 Tus hombres caerán a filo de espada,
y tus valientes, en el campo de batalla.
26 Las puertas de la ciudad gemirán y se vestirán de luto;
desolada, la ciudad se sentará en el suelo.

Isaiah 3
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Will Judge Judah’s Leaders
3 For behold, the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, (A)is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both [a]supply and support, the whole [b]supply of bread
And the whole [c]supply of water,
2 (B)The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
3 The commander of fifty and the [d]highly respected man,
The counselor and the wise craftsman,
And the experienced enchanter.
4 And I will make (C)young men their princes,
And [e]capricious children will rule over them,
5 And the people will be (D)oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his (E)neighbor;
The youth will overwhelm the elder
And the dishonorable, the honorable.
6 When a man (F)grasps his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler,
And these ruins will be under your hand,”
7 He will [f]protest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your [g](G)healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”
8 For (H)Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because their (I)tongue and their deeds are against Yahweh,
To (J)rebel against [h]His glorious presence.
9 [i]The expression of their faces answers against them,
And they declare their sin like (K)Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have (L)dealt out evil on themselves.
10 Say to the (M)righteous that it will go well with them,
For they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,
For [j](N)what he has dealt out will be done to him.
12 O My people! Their taskmasters [k]are (O)infants,
And women rule over them.
O My people! (P)Those who guide you lead you astray
And swallow up the way of your paths.
13 (Q)Yahweh takes His stand to contend,
And stands to judge the peoples.
14 Yahweh (R)enters into judgment with the elders of His people and His princes,
“It is you who have (S)consumed the vineyard;
The (T)plunder robbed of the afflicted is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by (U)crushing My people
And grinding the face of the afflicted?”
Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Yahweh Will Judge Zion’s Daughters
16 Moreover, Yahweh said, “Because the (V)daughters of Zion are haughty
And walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will smite the skull of the daughters of Zion with scabs,
And Yahweh will make their foreheads bare.”
18 In that day the Lord will remove the beauty of their anklets, headbands, (W)crescent ornaments, 19 dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 20 (X)headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, enchanted charms, 21 [l]finger rings, (Y)nose rings, 22 festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, 23 hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans, and shawls.
24 Now it will be that instead of [m]sweet (Z)perfume there will be the smell of rot;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of (AA)well-set hair, a (AB)plucked-out scalp;
Instead of fine clothes, a (AC)donning of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men will (AD)fall by the sword
And your [n]mighty ones in battle.
26 And her [o](AE)gates will lament and mourn,
And deserted she will (AF)sit on the ground.
