1 For, behold, the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], does take away from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] the supply and the support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water,

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

3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artisan, and the eloquent orator (enchanter).

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

5 And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself arrogantly against the elder, and the base against the honourable.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], youi have clothing, be youi our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under youri hand:

7 In 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.

8 For Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] is ruined, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to openly provoke/rebel against his glory.

9 The show of very faces does witness against them! and they declare their sin as S’dom [Burning], they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

10 Say you2f to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

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

12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead youi cause [youi] to err, and destroy the way of youri paths.

13 The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.

14 The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: for you2f have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.

15 What mean you2f [that] you2f beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

16 Moreover the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) says, Because the daughters of Tziyon [parched place] are arrogant (proud; lifted up), and walk with stretched forth necks and seductive eyes, walking and mincing (taking short, quick steps) [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Tziyon [parched place], and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will expose their private parts.

18 In that day the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will take away the beauty of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] headbands, and [their] crescents like the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the veils,

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

21 The rings, and nose jewels,

22 The fine dresses, and the mantles, and the shawls, and money purses,

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

24 And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a belt a rope; and instead of well-set hair baldness; and instead of a rich robe a girding of sackcloth; [and] (slave) branding instead of beauty.

25 Your1s men shall fall by the sword, and youri mighty in the war.

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