Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Literal Standard Version 2020

- Kapitel 3 -

1
For behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, || Is turning aside from Jerusalem and from Judah || [Both] stay and staff: Every stay of bread and every stay of water;
2
Mighty and man of war, judge and prophet, || And diviner and elderly,
3
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, || And counselor, and wise craftsmen, || And discerning charmer.
4
And I have made youths their heads, || And sucklings rule over them.
5
And the people has exactedman on man, || Even a man on his neighbor, || The youths enlarge themselves against the aged, || And the lightly esteemed against the honored.
6
When one lays hold on his brother, || Of the house of his father, [by] the garment, “Come, you are a ruler to us, || And this ruin [is] under your hand.”
7
He lifts up, in that day, saying, “I am not a binder up, || And in my house is neither bread nor garment, || You do not make me a ruler of the people.”
8
For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, || For their tongue and their doings [are] against YHWH, || To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9
The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, || And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, || They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, || For they have done evil to themselves.
10
Say to the righteous that [it is] good, || Because they eat the fruit of their doings.
11
Woe to the wickedevil, || Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
12
My people—its exactors [are] sucklings, || And women have ruled over it. My peopleyour eulogists are causing to err, || And the way of your paths swallowed up.
13
YHWH has stood up to plead, || And He is standing to judge the peoples.
14
YHWH enters into judgment || With [the] elderly of His people, and its heads: “And you, you have consumed the vineyard, || Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
15
Why? Why do you [do this]? You bruise My people, || And you grind the faces of the poor.” A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, || And YHWH says:

A Warning to the Daughters of Zion

16
Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, || And they walk stretching out the neck, || And deceiving [with] the eyes, || They go walking and mincing, || And they make a jingling with their feet,
17
The Lord has also scabbed || The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, || And YHWH exposes their simplicity.
18
In that day the Lord turns aside || The beauty of the jingling ornaments, || And of the embroidered works, || And of the crescents,
19
Of the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils,
20
Of the headdresses, and the ornaments of the legs, || And of the bands, || And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
21
Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
22
Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, || And of the coverings, and of the purses,
23
Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, || And of the hoods, and of the veils,
24
And it has been, instead of spice is muck, || And instead of a girdle, a rope, || And instead of curled work, baldness, || And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
25
For instead of glory, your men fall by sword, || And your might in battle.
26
And her openings have lamented and mourned, || Indeed, she has been emptied, she sits on the earth!”
