God Will Remove the Leaders

  1 For behold°, the Lord° IGOD° of hosts° ais going to remove° from Jerusalem° and Judah°
  Both IIsupply° and support°, the whole° IIsupply° of bread°
  And the whole° IIsupply° of water°;
  2 aThe mighty° man° and the warrior°,
  The judge° and the prophet°,
  The diviner° and the elder°,
  3 The captain° of fifty° and the honorable°° man,
  The counselor° and the expert° artisan°,
  And the skillful° enchanter°.
  4 And I will make° mere alads° their princes°,
  And Icapricious° children° will rule° over them,
  5 And the people° will be aoppressed°,
  Each° one° by another°, and each° one° by his bneighbor°;
  The youth° will storm° against the elder°
  And the inferior° against the honorable°.
  6 When° a man° alays° hold° of his brother° in his father’s° house°, [saying],
  “You have a cloak°, you shall be our ruler°,
  And these° ruins° will be under° your Icharge°,”
  7 He will Iprotest° on that day°, saying°,
  “I will not be [your] II ahealer°,
  For in my house° there° is neither° bread° nor° cloak°;
  You should not appoint° me ruler° of the people°.”
  8 For aJerusalem° has stumbled° and Judah° has fallen°,
  Because° their I bspeech° and their actions° are against° the LORD°,
  To crebel° against IIHis glorious° presence°.
  9 IThe expression° of their faces° bears° witness° against them,
  And they display° their sin° like aSodom°;
  They do not [even] conceal° [it].
  Woe° to IIthem!
  For they have bbrought° evil° on themselves.
  10 Say° to the arighteous° that [it will go] well° [with them],
  For they will eat° the fruit° of their actions°.
  11 Woe° to the wicked°! [It will go] badly° [with him],
  For I awhat°° he deserves°° will be done° to him.
  12 O My people°! Their oppressors° Iare achildren°,
  And women° rule° over them.
  O My people°! bThose who guide° you lead° [you] astray°
  And confuse° the direction° of your paths°.

The great confusion which cometh by sin.

1 ¶ For,² behold,² the Lord,º the LORDº of hosts,º doth take awayº ª from Jerusalemº ² and from Judahº ² the stayº and the staff,º the whole² stayº of bread,º and the wholeº stayº of water,º 2 The mighty² man,¹ and the manº of war,º the judge,º ª and the prophet,º and the prudent,º ª and the ancient,º 3 The captainº of fifty,º and the honourable¹ ª man,º ² and the counsellor,º ª and the cunningº artificer,¹ ² and the eloquentº ª orator.º 4 And I will giveº ª childrenº [to be] their princes,º and babesº shall ruleº ª over them. 5 And the peopleº shall be oppressed,º ª every oneº by another,º and every oneº by his neighbour:º the childº shall behave himself proudlyº ª against the ancient,º and the baseº ª against the honourable.º ª 6 When² a manº shall take holdº ª of his brotherº of the houseº of his father,º [saying], Thou hast clothing,º be² thou our ruler,º and [let] this² ruinº [be] under² thy hand:º 7 In that² dayº shall he swear,º ª saying,º ª I will not² be² an healer;º ª for in my houseº [is] neither² breadº nor² clothing:º makeº ª me not² a rulerº of the people.º 8 For² Jerusalemº is ruined,º ª and Judahº is fallen:º ª because² their tongueº and their doingsº [are] against² the LORD,º to provokeº ª the eyesº of his glory.º
