New Testament

Isaiah 3:13-26 English Revised Version (ERV)

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.

25. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

26. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
