Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

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.
