Isaiah 3:8 - 3:15

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,

Because their tongue and their deeds are against Yahweh,

To rebel against His glorious presence.

The expression of their faces answers against them,

And they declare their sin like Sodom;

They do not even conceal it.

Woe to their soul!

For they have dealt out evil on themselves.

Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,

For they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,

For what he has dealt out will be done to him.

O My people! Their taskmasters are infants,

And women rule over them.

O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray

And swallow up the way of your paths.

Yahweh takes His stand to contend,

And stands to judge the peoples.

Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of His people and His princes,

“It is you who have consumed the vineyard;

The plunder robbed of the afflicted is in your houses.

What do you mean by crushing My people

And grinding the face of the afflicted?”

Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
