3:4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. |
1:23 |

3:7 In that day shall he swear, say- ing, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor cloth- ing: make me not a ruler of the people. |
59:4-6 |
3:7 But he will raise his hand in that day and swear, I am no physician. There is neither food nor clothing in my house; you cannot make me a leader of the people. |
|||
| כִּי כָשְׁלָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם וִיהוּדָה נָפָל כִּי־לְשׁוֹנָם וּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם אֶל־יְהוָה לַמְרוֹת עֵנֵי כְבוֹדוֹ ׃ | 8 | ||||

|||
| יְהוָה בְּמִשְׁפָּט יָבוֹא עִם־זִקְנֵי עַמּוֹ וְשָׂרָיו וְאַתֶּם בִּעַרְתֶּם הַכֶּרֶם גְּזֵלַת הֶעָנִי בְּבָתֵּיכֶם ׃ | 14 | ||||

|||
| מַלָּכֶם (מַה־לָּכֶם) תְּדַכְּאוּ עַמִּי וּפְנֵי עֲנִיִּים תִּטְחָנוּ נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאוֹת ׃ | 15 | ||||
3:15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. |
10:1-2 |
3:15 What do you mean by oppressing my people, humbling the faces of the poor? says the Lord of Hosts. |
|||
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יַעַן כִּי גָבְהוּ בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַתֵּלַכְנָה נְטוּוֹת (נְטוּיוֹת) גָּרוֹן וּמְשַׂקְּרוֹת עֵינָיִם הָלוֹךְ וְטָפֹף תֵּלַכְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶם תְּעַכַּסְנָה ׃ | 16 | ||||
3:16 ¶ Moreover the LORD saith, Be- cause the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretch- ed forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: |
|
3:16 The Lord says, moreover, Because the women of Zion are haughty and put on airs, painting their eyes, ever flirting when they walk and clacking with their feet, |
|||
| וְשִׂפַּח אֲדֹנָי קָדְקֹד בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַיהוָה פָּתְהֵן יְעָרֶה ׃ | 17 | ||||

3:18 In that day the Lord will take a- way the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, |
|
3:18-23 In that day the Lord will strip away their finery—the anklets, head ornaments and crescents, 19the pendants, chains and scarves, 20 tiaras, bracelets and ribbons, zodiac signs and charm amulets, 21 rings for the fingers and for the ears, 22 the elegant dress, the shawl, the kerchief and the purse, 23 hosiery, sheer linen, millinery, and cloaks. |
|||
| הַנְּטִיפוֹת וְהַשֵּׁירוֹת וְהָרְעָלוֹת ׃ | 19 | ||||
3:19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, |

3:21 The rings, and nose jewels, |

3:23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. |
|
|

| וְהָיָה תַחַת בֹּשֶׂם מַק יִהְיֶה וְתַחַת חֲגוֹרָה נִקְפָּה וְתַחַת מַעֲשֶׂה מִקְשֶׁה קָרְחָה וְתַחַת פְּתִיגִיל מַחֲגֹרֶת שָׂק כִּי־תַחַת יֹפִי ׃ | 24 | ||||
3:24 And it shall come to pass, that in- stead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair bald- ness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. |
32:11 |
3:24 And instead of perfume there shall be a stench, instead of the girdle, a piece of twine, instead of the coiffure, baldness, instead of the festive dress, a loincloth of burlap; for in place of beauty there shall be ignominy.a |

3:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. |
51:19 |
