Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves. 10Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11Woe to 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 who lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. 13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 14The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses. 15What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 16Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with extended necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 17Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their secret parts. 18In that day the Lord will take away the show of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon. 19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings, 21The rings, and nose-jewels, 22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins, 23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. 24And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be an offensive odor; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty. 25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. 26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate, shall sit upon 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.
