1Behold now, the Lord, the Lordof hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
1For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
2the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
3the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
4I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbour: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
5The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.
6For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, Thou hast raiment, be thou our ruler, and let my meat be under thee.
6Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
7And he shall answer in that day , and say, I will not be thy ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
7In 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.”
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9Wherefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
9The 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.
10Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
10Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands .
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
12O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blessed lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
12As 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.
13But now the Lord will stand up for judgment, and will enter into judgment with his people.
13Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14The Lord himself shall enter into judgment with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have ye set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
14Yahweh 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.
15Why do ye wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
15What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
16Thus saith the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
16Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
17therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”
18and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand, and the ear-rings,
20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds,
21the signet rings, the nose rings,
22and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses,
22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen , interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
23the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, thou shalt gird thyself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, thou shalt have baldness on account of thy works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, thou shalt gird thyself with sackcloth.
24It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25And thy most beautiful son whom thou lovest shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
25Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and thou shalt be left alone, and shalt be levelled with the ground.
26Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
1And seven women shall take hold of one man , saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let thy name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.
1Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach.”
2And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
2In that day, Yahweh’s branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.
3And it shall be, [that] the remnant left in Sion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem , [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
3It will happen that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem,
4For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and the spirit of burning.
4when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from within it, by the spirit of justice and by the spirit of burning.
5And he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yea, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night: and upon all the glory shall be a defence.
5Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the glory will be a canopy.
6And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding-place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
6There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.
