Isaiah 3:2-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
The mighty man and the warrior,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
3
The captain of fifty and the esteemed
person,
The counselor and the expert artisan,
And the skillful enchanter.
4
And I will make
mere
boys their leaders,
And mischievous
children
will rule over them,
5
And the people will be oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;
The youth will assault the elder,
And the contemptible
person will assault
the one honored.
6
When a man lays 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 authority,'
7
He will protest on that day, saying,
'I will not be
your
healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.'
8
For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because their speech and their actions are against the
Lord
,
To rebel against His glorious presence.
9
The expression of their faces testifies against them,
And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not
even
conceal
it.
Woe to them!
For they have done evil to themselves.
10
Say to the righteous that
it will go
well
for them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
11
Woe to the wicked!
It will go
badly
for him,
For what he deserves will be done to him.
12
My people! Their oppressors treat them violently,
And women rule over them.
My people! Those who guide you lead
you
astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.
13
The
Lord
arises to contend,
And stands to judge the people.
King James Version
Chapter 3
2
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5
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.
6
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:
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 Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the
Lord
, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9
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.
10
Say ye 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 thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13
The
Lord
standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
heroes and warriors,
judges and prophets,
fortune-tellers and elders,
3
commanders of fifty and dignitaries,
counselors, cunning magicians, and necromancers.
4
"I will make youths their leaders,
and unstable rulers will govern them."
5
The people will oppress one another,
man against man, neighbor against neighbor;
the young will act arrogantly toward the old,
and the worthless toward the honorable.
6
A man will even seize his brother
in his father’s house, saying:
"You have a cloak—you be our leader!
This heap of rubble will be under your control."
7
On that day he will cry out, saying:
"I’m not a healer.
I don’t even have food or clothing in my house.
Don’t make me the leader of the people!"
8
For Jerusalem has stumbled
and Judah has fallen
because they have spoken and acted against the
Lord
,
defying his glorious presence.
9
The look on their faces testifies against them,
and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin;
they do not conceal it.
Woe to them,
for they have brought disaster on themselves.
10
Tell the righteous that it will go well for them,
for they will eat the fruit of their labor.
11
Woe to the wicked—it will go badly for them,
for what they have done will be done to them.
12
Youths oppress my people,
and women rule over them.
My people, your leaders mislead you;
they confuse the direction of your paths.
13
The
Lord
rises to argue the case
and stands to judge the people.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
2
all their heroes and soldiers,
judges and prophets,
fortune-tellers and elders,
3
army officers and high officials,
advisers, skilled sorcerers, and astrologers.
4
I will make boys their leaders,
and toddlers their rulers.
5
People will oppress each other —
man against man,
neighbor against neighbor.
Young people will insult their elders,
and vulgar people will sneer at the honorable.
6
In those days a man will say to his brother,
'Since you have a coat, you be our leader!
Take charge of this heap of ruins!'
7
But he will reply,
'No! I can’t help.
I don’t have any extra food or clothes.
Don’t put me in charge!'
8
For Jerusalem will stumble,
and Judah will fall,
because they speak out against the
Lord
and refuse to obey him.
They provoke him to his face.
9
The very look on their faces gives them away.
They display their sin like the people of Sodom
and don’t even try to hide it.
They are doomed!
They have brought destruction upon themselves.
10
Tell the godly that all will be well for them.
They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned!
11
But the wicked are doomed,
for they will get exactly what they deserve.
12
Childish leaders oppress my people,
and women rule over them.
O my people, your leaders mislead you;
they send you down the wrong road.
13
The
Lord
takes his place in court
and presents his case against his people.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
2
the mighty man and the soldier,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3
the captain of fifty
and the man of rank,
the counselor and the skillful magician
and the expert in charms.
4
And I will make boys their princes,
and infants shall rule over them.
5
And the people will oppress one another,
every one his fellow
and every one his neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
and the despised to the honorable.
6
For a man will take hold of his brother
in the house of his father, saying:
"You have a cloak;
you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
shall be under your rule";
7
in that day he will speak out, saying:
"I will not be a healer;
in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
leader of the people."
8
For Jerusalem has stumbled,
and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against the
Lord
,
defying his glorious presence.
9
For the look on their faces bears witness against them;
they proclaim their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.
10
Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,
for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11
Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
12
My people — infants are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, your guides mislead you
and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.
13
The
Lord
has taken his place to contend;
he stands to judge peoples.
New International Version
Chapter 3
2
the hero and the warrior,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3
the captain of fifty and the man of rank,
the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.
4
"I will make mere youths their officials;
children will rule over them."
5
People will oppress each other—
man against man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
the nobody against the honored.
6
A man will seize one of his brothers
in his father’s house, and say,
"You have a cloak, you be our leader;
take charge of this heap of ruins!"
7
But in that day he will cry out,
"I have no remedy.
I have no food or clothing in my house;
do not make me the leader of the people."
8
Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the
Lord
,
defying his glorious presence.
9
The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.
10
Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11
Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back
for what their hands have done.
12
Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;
they turn you from the path.
13
The
Lord
takes his place in court;
he rises to judge the people.

When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father,

your
ills,

is
neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

For Jerusalem stumbled,

Because their tongue and their doings
Are

And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause
you
to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”

The
Lord
stands up to plead,
And stands to judge the people.
