A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go: <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments, <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing, <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers, <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> The rings, and the nose-jewels, <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags, <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, and the veils. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n
