23:003:002 The mighty man, and the man of war, the
judge, and the
prophet,
and the prudent, and the ancient,
23:003:003 The captain of fifty, and the honourable
man, and the
counsellor,
and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent
orator.
23:003:004 And I will give children to be their princes,
and babes shall
rule
over them.
23:003:005 And the people shall be oppressed, every
one by another, and
every
one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself
proudly
against the ancient, and the base against the
honourable.
23:003:006 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:
23:003:007 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will
not be an healer;
for
in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make
me not a
ruler
of the people.
23:003:008 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.
23:003:009 The shew of their countenance doth witness
against them; and
they
declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.
Woe unto
their
soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
23:003:010 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall
be well with him: for
they
shall eat the fruit of their doings.
23:003:011 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with
him: for the reward
of
his hands shall be given him.
23:003:012 As for my people, children are their oppressors,
and women
rule
over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause
thee
to
err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
23:003:013 The lord standeth up to plead, and
standeth to judge the
people.
23:003:014 The lord will enter into judgment
with the ancients of his
people,
and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up
the
vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
23:003:015 What mean ye that ye beat my people to
pieces, and grind the
faces
of the poor? saith the Lord god of hosts.
23:003:016 Moreover the lord saith, Because the
daughters of Zion are
haughty,
and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking
and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with
their
feet:
23:003:017 Therefore the lord will smite with
a scab the crown of the
head
of the daughters of Zion, and the lord will discover
their
secret parts.
23:003:018 In that day the Lord will take away the
bravery of their
tinkling
ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and
their
round tires like the moon,
