Isaiah 3:13-4:1
English Standard Version
Isaiah 3:13-4:1
English Standard Version
13 The Lord (A)has taken his place to contend;
he stands to judge peoples.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
with the (B)elders and princes of his people:
“It is you who (C)have devoured[a] the vineyard,
(D)the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by (E)crushing my people,
by grinding the face of the poor?”
declares the Lord God of hosts.
16 The Lord said:
(F)Because (G)the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
(H)tinkling with their feet,
17 therefore the Lord (I)will strike with a scab
the heads of (J)the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away (K)the finery of the anklets, the (L)headbands, and the (M)crescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the (N)headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and (O)nose rings; 22 the (P)festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24 Instead of (Q)perfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a (R)belt, a rope;
and instead of (S)well-set hair, (T)baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a (U)skirt of sackcloth;
and (V)branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26 And (W)her gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall (X)sit on the ground.
4 (Y)And seven women (Z)shall take hold of (AA)one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; (AB)take away our reproach.”
