King James Version
1. For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah The stock and the store, 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 diviner and the elder; 3. The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter. 4. "I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. 5. The people will be oppressed, Every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder, And the base toward the honorable." 6. When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying , "You have clothing; You be our ruler, And let these ruins be under your power," 7. In that day he will protest, saying, "I cannot cure your ills, For in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people." 8. For Jerusalem stumbled, And Judah is fallen, Because their tongue and their doings Are against the LORD, To provoke the eyes of His glory. 9. The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it . Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. 10. "Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them , For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11. Woe to 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! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths." 13. The LORD stands up to plead, And stands to judge the people. 14. The LORD will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses. 15. What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?" Says the Lord GOD of hosts. 16. Moreover the LORD says: "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks And wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, Making a jingling with their feet, 17. Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the LORD will uncover their secret parts." 18. In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents; 19. The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils; 20. The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms, 21. and the rings; The nose jewels, 22. the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses, 23. and the mirrors; The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes. 24. And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well–set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty. 25. Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. 26. Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
1. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name, To take away our reproach." 2. In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped. 3. And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy––everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5. then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
1. Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2. to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5. not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6. whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7. that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8. This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. 9. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11. knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self–condemned. 12. When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13. Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14. And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful. 15. All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
