Isaiah 3

Gen Z: Isaiah 3

1Yo, check it, the Lord, the boss of the squad, is taking away the whole vibe from Jerusalem and Judah—no bread, no water, it’s a whole drought, fr.

2The strong dude, the warrior, the judge, the prophet, the wise ones, and the OGs, all gone.

3The captain of fifty, the respected dude, the advisor, the crafty builder, and the smooth talker, all MIA.

4I'm gonna have kids run things, and the little ones are gonna be in charge, no cap.

5Everyone’s gonna be stressing each other out; the kid’s gonna be acting all proud against the elders, and the low-key gonna front on the respected.

6When a dude grabs his bro from the fam and says, "You got drip, be our leader and manage this mess.”

7On that day, he’ll be like, "Nah, I can’t heal; I got no food or clothes in my crib, don’t make me lead the squad."

8Jerusalem’s totally wrecked, and Judah’s down bad, 'cause their words and actions are straight-up against the Lord, flexing on His glory.

9Their faces are all sus, and they’re out here exposing their sins like Sodom, not even hiding it. Woe to them! They’ve been dishing out bad vibes to themselves.

10Tell the good peeps it’s all good for them; they’re gonna enjoy the fruits of their actions, periodt.

11Yo, the wicked are gonna catch some major Ls; their actions will come back to bite them, no cap.

12My peeps be struggling, with kids acting all tough and women leading the way. They’re leading you astray, fr, and messing up the whole vibe.

13The Lord's stepping up to defend and judge the squad, periodt.

14God's about to call out the old heads and the big shots, 'cause y’all been draining the good stuff and leaving the poor empty-handed.

15Why you out here breaking my people and flexing on the poor? That’s a big no from the Lord of Hosts.

16The Lord's saying, "Y’all daughters of Zion are acting all high and mighty, strutting around with those looks and fancy steps."

17So, the Lord’s gonna hit you with some shame on that crown, and reveal what you try to keep hidden, sus.

18On that day, God’s taking away all your flashy stuff and those cute little accessories you flex with.

19The chains, bracelets, and mufflers? Yeah, those are getting snatched too.

20All the bonnets, leg bling, headbands, tablets, and earrings? Gone, fam.

21The rings and nose bling,

22The drip with the fits, and the capes, and the head wraps, and the curling tools,

23The shades, and the fine threads, and the hoods, and the veils.

24And it’s gonna be wild, instead of sweet vibes there’ll be stank; instead of a cute belt, a tear; instead of fresh hair, baldness; instead of a dope fit, sackcloth; and fire instead of beauty.

25Your guys gonna drop by the sword, and your strong ones in the battle.

26And her gates gonna be all sad and mournful; and she, being all alone, will sit on the ground.

KJV: Isaiah 3

1For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

3The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

4And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

5And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

6When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

7In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

14The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

15What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

16Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

21The rings, and nose jewels,

22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
