Isaiah 3:8-15
21st Century King James Version
8 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.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruits of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them! O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the elders of His people and the princes thereof: “For ye have eaten up the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat My people to pieces and grind the faces of the poor?” saith the Lord God of hosts.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory. 9 [a]The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evil unto themselves. 10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him. 12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and [b]destroy the way of thy paths.
13 Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the [c]peoples. 14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: 15 what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

8 Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;(A)
their words(B) and deeds(C) are against the Lord,
defying(D) his glorious presence.
9 The look on their faces testifies(E) against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;(F)
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster(G) upon themselves.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well(H) with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.(I)
11 Woe to the wicked!(J)
Disaster(K) is upon them!
They will be paid back(L)
for what their hands have done.(M)
12 Youths(N) oppress my people,
women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;(O)
they turn you from the path.
13 The Lord takes his place in court;(P)
he rises to judge(Q) the people.
14 The Lord enters into judgment(R)
against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder(S) from the poor(T) is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people(U)
and grinding(V) the faces of the poor?”(W)
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.(X)
