Isaiah

耶路撒冷的混乱

1主—万军之耶和华从耶路撒冷和犹大， 除掉众人所倚靠的，所仗赖的， 就是所倚靠的粮，所仗赖的水；

2除掉勇士和战士， 审判官和先知， 占卜的和长老，

3五十夫长和尊贵人， 谋士和有巧艺的， 以及妙行法术的。

4主说：我必使孩童作他们的首领， 使婴孩辖管他们。

5百姓要彼此欺压； 各人受邻舍的欺压。 少年人必侮慢老年人； 卑贱人必侮慢尊贵人。

6人在父家拉住弟兄，说： 你有衣服，可以作我们的官长。 这败落的事归在你手下吧！

7那时，他必扬声说： 我不作医治你们的人； 因我家中没有粮食，也没有衣服， 你们不可立我作百姓的官长。

8耶路撒冷败落， 犹大倾倒； 因为他们的舌头和行为与耶和华反对， 惹了他荣光的眼目。

9他们的面色证明自己的不正； 他们述说自己的罪恶，并不隐瞒， 好像所多玛一样。 他们有祸了！因为作恶自害。

10你们要论义人说：他必享福乐， 因为要吃自己行为所结的果子。

11恶人有祸了！他必遭灾难！ 因为要照自己手所行的受报应。

12至于我的百姓， 孩童欺压他们， 妇女辖管他们。 我的百姓啊，引导你的使你走错， 并毁坏你所行的道路。

耶和华审判他的人民

13耶和华起来辩论， 站着审判众民。

14耶和华必审问他民中的长老和首领，说： 吃尽葡萄园果子的就是你们； 向贫穷人所夺的都在你们家中。

15主—万军之耶和华说： 你们为何压制我的百姓， 搓磨贫穷人的脸呢？

对耶路撒冷女子的警告

16耶和华又说： 因为锡安的女子狂傲， 行走挺项，卖弄眼目， 俏步徐行，脚下玎珰，

17所以，主必使锡安的女子头长秃疮； 耶和华又使她们赤露下体。

18到那日，主必除掉她们华美的脚钏、发网、月牙圈、

19耳环、手镯、蒙脸的帕子、

20华冠、足链、华带、香盒、符囊、

21戒指、鼻环、

22吉服、外套、云肩、荷包、

23手镜、细麻衣、裹头巾、蒙身的帕子。

24必有臭烂代替馨香， 绳子代替腰带， 光秃代替美发， 麻衣系腰代替华服， 烙伤代替美容。

25你的男丁必倒在刀下； 你的勇士必死在阵上。

26锡安的城门必悲伤、哀号； 她必荒凉坐在地上。

1For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.

2The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.

3The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.

4And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.

5And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

6For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.

7In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.

8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.

9The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.

10Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.

11Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.

13The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.

14The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.

15Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.

16And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:

17The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.

18In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,

19And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,

20And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,

21And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,

22And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,

23And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.

24And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.

25Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.

26And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
