New American Standard Bible God Will Remove the Leaders 1For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water;
2The mighty man and the warrior,
3The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
4And I will make mere lads their princes,
5And the people will be oppressed,
6When a man lays hold of his brother in his fathers house, saying,
7He will protest on that day, saying,
8For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
9The expression of their faces bears witness against them,
10Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,
11Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,
12O My people! Their oppressors are children,
14The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
15What do you mean by crushing My people
17Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, 18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, 19dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 20headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 21finger rings, nose rings, 22festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, 23hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.
24Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction;
25Your men will fall by the sword
26And her gates will lament and mourn, New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
