O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps. 13The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people. 14The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house. 15Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts. 16And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace: 17The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair. 18In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons, 19And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets, 20And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings, 21And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead, 22And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins, 23And lookingglasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils. 24And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth. 25Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle. 26And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground. ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 2Next chapterIsaiah 4›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 3 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
