3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;

3:2 the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder,

3:3 the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skilful magician and the expert in charms.

3:4 And I will make boys their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

3:5 And the people will oppress one another, every man his fellow and every man his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the base fellow to the honorable.

3:6 When a man takes hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: "You have a mantle; you shall be our leader, and this heap of ruins shall be under your rule";

3:7 in that day he will speak out, saying: "I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor mantle; you shall not make me leader of the people."

3:8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.

3:9 Their partiality witnesses against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil upon themselves.

3:10 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

3:11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.

3:12 My people -- children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.

3:13 The LORD has taken his place to contend, he stands to judge his people.

3:14 The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of his people: "It is you who have devoured the vineyard, the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

3:15 What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor?" says the Lord GOD of hosts.

3:16 The LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet;

3:17 the Lord will smite with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.

3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;

3:19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarfs;

3:20 the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

3:21 the signet rings and nose rings;

3:22 the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;

3:23 the garments of gauze, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.

3:24 Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

3:25 Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle.

3:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; ravaged, she shall sit upon the ground.
