The Scriptures 1998

Isaiah 3:9-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

9. The look on their faces witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Seḏom; they do not hide it. Woe to their being! For they have brought evil upon themselves.

10. “Say to the righteous it is well, for they eat the fruit of their doings.

11. “Woe to the wrong – evil! For the reward of his hand is done to him.

12. “My people! Youths exert pressure on them, and women rule over them. O My people! Your leaders lead you astray, and swallow the way of your paths.”

13. יהוה shall stand up to plead, and is standing to judge the peoples.

14. יהוה enters into judgment with the elders of His people and its heads, “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15. “What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Master, יהוה of hosts.

16. And יהוה says, “Because the daughters of Tsiyon are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes, walking and mincing as they go, making a jingling with their feet,

17. therefore יהוה shall smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Tsiyon, and יהוה expose their nakedness.”

18. In that day יהוה takes away the finery of the anklets, and the headbands, and the crescents,

19. the pendants, the bracelets and the veils,

20. the headdresses, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume bottles, and the amulets,
