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,
