CHAP. III.
1 For the sinne of the people God will take away the wise men,
and giue them foolish princes. 14 The couetousnesse of the gouernours.
16 The pride of the women.
1 For lo, the Lord God of hostes will take away
from Ierusalem and from Iudah the stay note and
the strength: euen all the staye of bread, and all
the stay of water,
2 The strong man, & the man of warre, note the
iudge and the prophet, the prudent and the aged,
3 The captaine of fiftie, and the honourable,
and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and
note the eloquent man.
4 And I will appoint note children to bee their
princes, and babes shall rule ouer them.
5 The people shalbe note oppressed one of another,
and euery one by his neighbour: the children
shall presume against the ancient, and the vile against
the honourable.
6 When euery one shall note take holde of his
brother of the house of his father, and say, Thou
hast clothing: thou shalt bee our prince, and let
this fall be vnder thine hand.
7 In that day hee shall note sweare, saying, I cannot
bee an helper: for there is no bread in mine
house, nor clothing: therefore make me no prince
of the people.
8 Doubtlesse Ierusalem is fallen, and Iudah is
fallen downe, because their tongue & workes are
against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glory.
9 The note triall of their countenance testifieth
against them, yea, they declare their sinnes as Sodom,
they hide them not. Wo be vnto their soules:
for they haue rewarded euil vnto themselues.
10 noteSay ye, Surely it shalbe well with the iust:
for they shall eate the fruite of their workes.
11 Woe be to the wicked, it shalbe euill with
him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him.
12 noteChildren are extorcioners of my people,
and women haue rule ouer them: O my people,
they that leade thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy
the way of thy paths.
13 The Lorde standeth vp to pleade, yea, hee
standeth to iudge the people.
14 The Lord shall enter into iudgement with
the note Ancients of his people & the princes thereof:
The pride of women.
for ye haue eaten vp the vineyarde: the spoyle of
the poore is in your houses.
15 What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people
to pieces, note and grinde the faces of the poore,
saith the Lord, euen tho Lord of hostes?
16 The Lord also saith, note Because the daughters
of Zion are hautie, and walke with note stretched out
neckes, and with note wandering eyes, walking and
note minsing as they goe, and making a note tinkeling
with their feete,
17 Therefore shall the Lord make the heades
of the daughters of Zion balde, and the Lord shall
discouer their secrete partes.
18 In that day shall the Lorde take away the
ornament of the slippers, and the calles, and the
round tyres,
19 The sweete balles, and the brasselets, and
the bonnets,
20 The tyres of the head, and the sloppes, and
the head bandes, and the tablets, and the earings,
21 The rings and the mufflers,
22 The costly apparell and the vailes, and the
wimples, and the crisping pinnes,
23 And the glasses and the fine linen, and the
hoodes, and the note launes.
24 And in steade of sweete sauour, there shall
be stinke, and in steade of a girdle, a rent, and in
steade of dressing of the heare, baldnesse, and in
steade of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth, and
burning in steade of beautie.
25 Thy men note shall fall by the sworde, and thy
strength in the battell.
26 Then shall her gates mourne and lament,
and she, being desolate, shall sit vpon the ground.
