Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem
aTakes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
bThe stock and the store,
The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the1 elder,
And the1 base toward the honorable.”
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
| << Isaiah 3:2 | Isaiah 3:4 >> |
