Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 3

¹ FOR behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
² The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.
³ The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skilful in eloquent speech.
⁴ And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.
⁵ And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
⁶ For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
⁷ In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
⁸ For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
⁹ The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.
¹⁰ Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
¹¹ Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
¹² As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
¹³ The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.
¹⁴ The 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.
¹⁵ Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
¹⁶ And 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:
¹⁷ The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.
¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, end little moons,
¹⁹ And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,
²⁰ And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,
²¹ And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,
²² And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
²³ And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.
²⁴ And 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.
²⁵ Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.
²⁶ And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.

Chapter 3

¹ For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the rod and the staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
² The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
³ The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skillful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
⁴ And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
⁵ And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable.
⁶ When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
⁷ In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
⁸ For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
⁹ The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.
¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
¹¹ Woe 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.
¹³ The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
¹⁴ The 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.
¹⁵ What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
¹⁶ Moreover 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:
¹⁷ Therefore 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.
¹⁸ In 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.
¹⁹ The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
²⁰ The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,
²¹ The rings, and nose-jewels,
²² The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,
²³ The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
²⁴ And 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.
²⁵ Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
²⁶ And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.

Chapter 3

¹ For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
² the mighty man and the man of war, the judge and the prophet, and the diviner and the elder,
³ the captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the clever among artificers, and the one versed in enchantments.
⁴ And I will appoint youths as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
⁵ And the people shall be oppressed one by the other, and each by his neighbour; the child will be insolent against the elder, and the base against the honourable.
⁶ When a man shall take hold of his brother, in his father's house, [and shall say:] Thou hast clothing; be our chief, and let this ruin be under thy hand;
⁷ he will lift up [his hand] in that day, saying, I cannot be a healer, and in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; ye shall not make me a chief of the people.
⁸ For Jerusalem stumbleth and Judah falleth, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
⁹ The look of their face doth witness against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom: they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have brought evil upon themselves.
¹⁰ Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well [with him], for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
¹¹ Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill [with him], because the desert of his hands shall be rendered unto him.
¹² [As for] my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people! they that guide thee mislead [thee], and destroy the way of thy paths.
¹³ Jehovah setteth himself to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
¹⁴ Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their princes, [saying:] It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard: the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
¹⁵ What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the faces of the afflicted? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
¹⁶ And Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-out neck and wanton eyes, and go along mincing, and making a tinkling with their feet;
¹⁷ therefore the Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the ornament of anklets, and the little suns and crescents,

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, instead of perfume there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe of display, a girding of sackcloth; brand instead of beauty.
²⁵ Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the fight;
²⁶ and her gates shall lament and mourn; and, stripped, she shall sit upon the ground.

Isaiah - basic english

Chapter 3

¹ For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;
² The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;
³ The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.
⁴ And I will make children their chiefs, and foolish ones will have rule over them.
⁵ And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.
⁶ When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:
⁷ Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.
⁸ For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.
⁹ Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.
¹⁰ Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways.
¹¹ Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.
¹² As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.
¹³ The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.
¹⁴ The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.
¹⁵ By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.
¹⁶ Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:
¹⁷ The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.
¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,
¹⁹ The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing,
²⁰ The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,
²¹ The rings, and the nose-jewels,
²² The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags,
²³ The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, and the veils.
²⁴ And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.
²⁵ Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.
²⁶ And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.
