Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 3:13-26

Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 3:13-26 CJB

ADONAI rises to accuse, he stands to judge the peoples. ADONAI presents the indictment against the leaders and officers of his people: “It is you who devour the vineyard; in your houses is plunder taken from the poor. What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding down the faces of the poor?” says Adonai ELOHIM-Tzva’ot. Moreover ADONAI says: “Because Tziyon’s women are so proud, walking with their heads in the air and throwing seductive glances, moving with mincing steps and jingling their anklets — Adonai will strike the crown of the heads of Tziyon’s women with sores, and ADONAI will expose their private parts.” On that day Adonai will take away their finery — their anklets, medallions and crescents, their pendants, bracelets and veils; their headbands, armlets, sashes, perfume bottles, amulets, rings and nose-jewels; their fine dresses, wraps, shawls, handbags, gauze scarves, linen underclothes, turbans and capes. Then, there will be instead of perfume, a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well-set hair, a shaved scalp; instead of a rich robe, a sackcloth skirt; and a slave-brand instead of beauty. Your men will fall by the sword and your warriors in battle. Her gates will lament and mourn; ravaged, she will sit on the ground.
