1 For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply 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 mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
2 El valiente y el hombre de guerra, el juez y el profeta, el adivino y el anciano;
3 the captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counsellor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
3 El capitán de cincuenta, y el hombre de respeto, y el consejero, y el artífice excelente, y el hábil orador.
4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
4 Y pondréles mozos por príncipes, y muchachos serán sus señores.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked 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 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your 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 will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me 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 Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
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 look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
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 Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
10 Decid al justo que [le irá] bien: porque comerá de los frutos de sus manos.
11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
11 ¡Ay del impío! mal [le irá]: porque según las obras de sus manos le será pagado.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
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 stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
13 Jehová está en pie para litigar, y está para juzgar los pueblos.
14 The LORD will enter into judgement with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
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 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
15 ¿Qué pensáis vosotros que majáis mi pueblo, y moléis las caras de los pobres? dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos.
16 Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
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 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”
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 beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
18 Aquel día quitará el Señor el atavío de los calzados, y las redecillas, y las lunetas;
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
19 Los collares, y los joyeles, y los brazaletes;
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
20 Las escofietas, y los atavíos de las piernas, los partidores del pelo, los pomitos de olor, y los zarcillos;
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
21 Los anillos, y los joyeles de las narices;
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
22 Las ropas de remuda, los mantoncillos, los velos, y los alfileres;
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
23 Los espejos, los pañizuelos, las gasas, y los tocados.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
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 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
25 Tus varones caerán á cuchillo, y tu fuerza en la guerra.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit 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 …
