Isaiah 3

1For, 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.

כִּי הִנֵּה הָאָדֹון יְהוָה צְבָאֹות מֵסִיר מִירוּשָׁלִַם וּמִיהוּדָה מַשְׁעֵן וּמַשְׁעֵנָה כֹּל מִשְׁעַן־לֶחֶם וְכֹל מִשְׁעַן־מָיִם׃ (3818)

2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

גִּבֹּור וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה שֹׁופֵט וְנָבִיא וְקֹסֵם וְזָקֵן׃ (1484)

3The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

שַׂר־חֲמִשִּׁים וּנְשׂוּא פָנִים וְיֹועֵץ וַחֲכַם חֲרָשִׁים וּנְבֹון לָחַשׁ׃ (2707)

4And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

וְנָתַתִּי נְעָרִים שָׂרֵיהֶם וְתַעֲלוּלִים יִמְשְׁלוּ־בָם׃ (2811)

5And 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.

וְנִגַּשׂ הָעָם אִישׁ בְּאִישׁ וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ יִרְהֲבוּ הַנַּעַר בַּזָּקֵן וְהַנִּקְלֶה בַּנִּכְבָּד׃ (2679)

6When 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:

כִּי־יִתְפֹּשׂ אִישׁ בְּאָחִיו בֵּית אָבִיו שִׂמְלָה לְכָה קָצִין תִּהְיֶה־לָּנוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת יָדֶךָ׃ (4436)

7In 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.

יִשָּׂא בַיֹּום הַהוּא ׀ לֵאמֹר לֹא־אֶהְיֶה חֹבֵשׁ וּבְבֵיתִי אֵין לֶחֶם וְאֵין שִׂמְלָה לֹא תְשִׂימֻנִי קְצִין עָם׃ (3231)

8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

כִּי כָשְׁלָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם וִיהוּדָה נָפָל כִּי־לְשֹׁונָם וּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם אֶל־יְהוָה לַמְרֹות עֵנֵי כְבֹודֹו׃ (2755)

9The shew 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.

הַכָּרַת פְּנֵיהֶם עָנְתָה בָּם וְחַטָּאתָם כִּסְדֹם הִגִּידוּ לֹא כִחֵדוּ אֹוי לְנַפְשָׁם כִּי־גָמְלוּ לָהֶם רָעָה׃ (3038)

10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי־טֹוב כִּי־פְרִי מַעַלְלֵיהֶם יֹאכֵלוּ׃ (1110)

11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

אֹוי לְרָשָׁע רָע כִּי־גְמוּל יָדָיו יֵעָשֶׂה לֹּו׃ (1447)

12As 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.

עַמִּי נֹגְשָׂיו מְעֹולֵל וְנָשִׁים מָשְׁלוּ בֹו עַמִּי מְאַשְּׁרֶיךָ מַתְעִים וְדֶרֶךְ אֹרְחֹתֶיךָ בִּלֵּעוּ׃ (3683)

13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

נִצָּב לָרִיב יְהוָה וְעֹמֵד לָדִין עַמִּים׃ (784)

14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

יְהוָה בְּמִשְׁפָּט יָבֹוא עִם־זִקְנֵי עַמֹּו וְשָׂרָיו וְאַתֶּם בִּעַרְתֶּם הַכֶּרֶם גְּזֵלַת הֶעָנִי בְּבָתֵּיכֶם׃ (3864)

15What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

[מַלָּכֶם כ] (מַּה ־לָּכֶם ק) תְּדַכְּאוּ עַמִּי וּפְנֵי עֲנִיִּים תִּטְחָנוּ נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאֹות׃ (2416)

16Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יַעַן כִּי גָבְהוּ בְּנֹות צִיֹּון וַתֵּלַכְנָה [נְטוֹּות כ] (נְטוּיֹות ק) גָּרֹון וּמְשַׂקְּרֹות עֵינָיִם הָלֹוךְ וְטָפֹף תֵּלַכְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶם תְּעַכַּסְנָה׃ (5789)

17Therefore 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.

וְשִׂפַּח אֲדֹנָי קָדְקֹד בְּנֹות צִיֹּון וַיהוָה פָּתְהֵן יְעָרֶה׃ (2133)

18In 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,

בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יָסִיר אֲדֹנָי אֵת תִּפְאֶרֶת הָעֲכָסִים וְהַשְּׁבִיסִים וְהַשַּׂהֲרֹנִים׃ (3156)

19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

הַנְּטִיפֹות וְהַשֵּׁירֹות וְהָרְעָלֹות׃ (2204)

20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

הַפְּאֵרִים וְהַצְּעָדֹות וְהַקִּשֻּׁרִים וּבָתֵּי הַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהַלְּחָשִׁים׃ (2830)

21The rings, and nose jewels,

הַטַּבָּעֹות וְנִזְמֵי הָאָף׃ (691)

22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

הַמַּחֲלָצֹות וְהַמַּעֲטָפֹות וְהַמִּטְפָּחֹות וְהָחֲרִיטִים׃ (2037)

23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

וְהַגִּלְיֹנִים וְהַסְּדִינִים וְהַצְּנִיפֹות וְהָרְדִידִים׃ (1265)

24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

וְהָיָה תַחַת בֹּשֶׂם מַק יִהְיֶה וְתַחַת חֲגֹורָה נִקְפָּה וְתַחַת מַעֲשֶׂה מִקְשֶׁה קָרְחָה וְתַחַת פְּתִיגִיל מַחֲגֹרֶת שָׂק כִּי־תַחַת יֹפִי׃ (7940)

25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

מְתַיִךְ בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וּגְבוּרָתֵךְ בַּמִּלְחָמָה׃ (1570)

26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

וְאָנוּ וְאָבְלוּ פְּתָחֶיהָ וְנִקָּתָה לָאָרֶץ תֵּשֵׁב׃ (2195)
