noyes@Isaiah:3:2 @ The mighty man, and the warrior, The judge, the prophet, the diviner, and the sage,

noyes@Isaiah:3:4 @ And I will make boys their princes, And children shall rule over them.

noyes@Isaiah:3:7 @ But in that day shall he lift up his hand, and say: I am no healer; In my house is neither bread nor raiment; Make not me ruler of the people!
noyes@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem tottereth, and Judah falleth, Because their tongues and their deeds are against Jehovah, To provoke his holy eyes.

noyes@Isaiah:3:14 @ Jehovah entereth into judgment with the elders of his people, and their princes: "So then ye have consumed the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses!
noyes@Isaiah:3:15 @ What mean ye, that ye crush my people, And grind the faces of the poor?" Saith Jehovah, the Lord of hosts.
noyes@Isaiah:3:16 @ Thus, also, saith Jehovah: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks, And glance their eyes wantonly, Mincing their steps as they go, And tinkling with their footclasps,

noyes@Isaiah:3:21 @ The fingerrings, and the nosejewels;
noyes@Isaiah:3:22 @ The embroidered robes, and the tunics, and the cloaks, and the purses;
noyes@Isaiah:3:23 @ The mirrors, and the linen shifts, and the headbands, and the large veils.
noyes@Isaiah:3:24 @ And instead of perfume there shall be corruption; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of curled locks, baldness; Instead of a wide mantle, a covering of sackcloth; Firescars instead of beauty.
