Isaias

15 And upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all images of desire;

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the false gods—the whole shall pass away.

19 And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the dust, from before the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his false gods of silver, and his false gods of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the crevices of the crags, from before the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, in whose nostrils is a breath; for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

III. 1 For behold, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

2 Mighty man, and man of war, judge, and prophet, and diviner, and elder,

3 Captain of fifty, and him that is high of face, and counsellor, and cunning artificer, and skilled enchanter,

4 And I will give children to be their princes, and freakishness shall rule over them.

5 And the people shall oppress one another, each against another, and each against his neighbour; the child shall be insolent against the ancient, and the vile against the honourable.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother in) the house of his father: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

7 In that day shall he lift up (his voice) saying, I will not be a binder up: for in my house is neither bread nor clothing; ye shall not make me 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 defy the eyes of his glory.

9 The show 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 awarded evil unto themselves.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it is well; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe unto the wicked, it is ill! for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12 My people, their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and swallow up the way of thy paths.
