1 For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
1 PORQUE he aquí que el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos quita de Jerusalem y de Judá el sustentador y el fuerte, todo sustento de pan y todo socorro de agua;
2 The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.
2 El valiente y el hombre de guerra, el juez y el profeta, el adivino y el anciano;
3 The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.
3 El capitán de cincuenta, y el hombre de respeto, y el consejero, y el artífice excelente, y el hábil orador.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.
4 Y pondréles mozos por príncipes, y muchachos serán sus señores.
5 And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
5 Y el pueblo hará violencia los unos á los otros, cada cual contra su vecino: el mozo se levantará contra el viejo, y el villano contra el noble.
6 For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
6 Cuando alguno trabare de su hermano, de la familia de su padre, [y le dijere], Que vestir tienes, tú serás nuestro príncipe, y sea en tu mano esta ruina;
7 In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
7 El jurará aquel día, diciendo: No tomaré ese cuidado; porque en mi casa ni hay pan, ni qué vestir: no me hagáis príncipe del pueblo.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
8 Pues arruinada está Jerusalem, y Judá ha caído; porque la lengua de ellos y sus obras han sido contra Jehová, para irritar los ojos de su majestad.
9 The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.
9 La apariencia del rostro de ellos los convence: que como Sodoma predican su pecado, no lo disimulan. ¡Ay del alma de ellos! porque allegaron mal para sí.
10 Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
10 Decid al justo que [le irá] bien: porque comerá de los frutos de sus manos.
11 Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
11 ¡Ay del impío! mal [le irá]: porque según las obras de sus manos le será pagado.
12 As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
12 Los exactores de mi pueblo son muchachos, y mujeres se enseñorearon de él. Pueblo mío, los que te guían te engañan, y tuercen la carrera de tus caminos.
13 The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.
13 Jehová está en pie para litigar, y está para juzgar los pueblos.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.
14 Jehová vendrá á juicio contra los ancianos de su pueblo y contra sus príncipes; porque vosotros habéis devorado la viña, y el despojo del pobre está en vuestras casas.
15 Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
15 ¿Qué pensáis vosotros que majáis mi pueblo, y moléis las caras de los pobres? dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos.
16 And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:
16 Asimismo dice Jehová: Por cuanto las hijas de Sión se ensoberbecen, y andan cuellierguidas y los ojos descompuestos; cuando andan van danzando, y haciendo son con los pies:
17 The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.
17 Por tanto, pelará el Señor la mollera de las hijas de Sión, y Jehová descubrirá sus vergüenzas.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,
18 Aquel día quitará el Señor el atavío de los calzados, y las redecillas, y las lunetas;
19 And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,
19 Los collares, y los joyeles, y los brazaletes;
20 And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,
20 Las escofietas, y los atavíos de las piernas, los partidores del pelo, los pomitos de olor, y los zarcillos;
21 And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,
21 Los anillos, y los joyeles de las narices;
22 And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
22 Las ropas de remuda, los mantoncillos, los velos, y los alfileres;
23 And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.
23 Los espejos, los pañizuelos, las gasas, y los tocados.
24 And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.
24 Y será que en lugar de los perfumes aromáticos vendrá hediondez; y desgarrón en lugar de cinta; y calvez en lugar de la compostura del cabello; y en lugar de faja ceñimiento de saco; y quemadura en vez de hermosura.
25 Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.
25 Tus varones caerán á cuchillo, y tu fuerza en la guerra.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
26 Sus puertas se entristecerán y enlutarán, y ella, desamparada, sentaráse en tierra.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And shouldest thou enter into a church, thou goest forth, without getting anything but countless leers, and revilings, and curses, not from the beholders only, but also from the prophet. For straightway Isaiah, that hath the fullest voice of all, as soon as he hath seen thee, will cry out, "These things saith the Lord against the princely daughters of …
