New Testament

Isaiah 3:10-24 English Revised Version (ERV)

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 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, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13. The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.

14. The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses:

15. what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

16. Moreover the LORD said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17. therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.

18. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;

19. the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;

20. the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

21. the rings, and the nose jewels;

22. the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;

23. the hand mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.

24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth: branding instead of beauty.
