FOR, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018415">2</a>. The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018416">3</a>. The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018417">4</a>. And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018418">5</a>. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018419">6</a>. When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018420">7</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018421">8</a>. For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018422">9</a>. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.  Woe unto their soul!  for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018423">10</a>. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018424">11</a>. Woe unto the wicked!  it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018425">12</a>. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.  O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018426">13</a>. The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018427">14</a>. The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018428">15</a>. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor?  saith the Lord GOD of hosts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018429">16</a>. Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018430">17</a>. Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018431">18</a>. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018432">19</a>. The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018433">20</a>. The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018434">21</a>. The rings, and nose jewels,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018435">22</a>. The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018436">23</a>. The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018437">24</a>. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018438">25</a>. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018439">26</a>. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.</li>
