Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 3:3-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

3. the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the expert artificer, and the skilful enchanter.

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 neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.

6. When a man shall take hold of his brother in 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 lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: ye shall not make me ruler of the people.

8. For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9. The show 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 done evil unto themselves.

10. Say ye of 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 what his hands have done shall be done unto him.
