Isaiah 3:7-17 World English Bible (WEB)

7. In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You 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 Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9. The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

10. Tell the righteous “Good!” For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

11. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

12. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

13. Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

14. Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15. What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

16. Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

17. therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”
