## Isaiah 3:2-8 in Context (Verses 1–11 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/1) For, 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,
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/2) The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/3) The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.**
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/4) And I will give children *to be* their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/5) And 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.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/6) When 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:
 
 [7 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/7) In 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.**
 
 [8 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/8) 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/9) ¶ The 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.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/10) Say ye to the righteous, that *it shall be* well *with him:* for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/isaiah/3/11) Woe unto the wicked! *it shall be* ill *with him:* for the reward of his hands shall be given him.*
 
[Isaiah 2](/kjv/isaiah/2) [Isaiah 4](/kjv/isaiah/4)
