Isaiah 3  New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ Someone will even seize a relative,
    a member of the clan, saying,
‘You have a cloak;
    you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    shall be under your rule.’
⁷ But the other will cry out on that day, saying,
‘I will not be a healer;
    in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
    leader of the people.’
⁸ For Jerusalem has stumbled
    and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
    defying his glorious presence.

⁹ The look on their faces bears witness against them;
    they proclaim their sin like Sodom,
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    For they have brought evil on themselves.
¹⁰ Tell the innocent how fortunate they are,
    for they shall eat the fruit of their labours.
¹¹ Woe to the guilty! How unfortunate they are,
    for what their hands have done shall be done to them.
¹² My people—children are their oppressors,
    and women rule over them.
O my people, your leaders mislead you,
    and confuse the course of your paths.

¹³ The Lord rises to argue his case;
    he stands to judge the peoples.
¹⁴ The Lord enters into judgement
    with the elders and princes of his people:
It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
    the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
¹⁵ What do you mean by crushing my people,
    by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord God of hosts.

¹⁶ The Lord said:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty
    and walk with outstretched necks,
    glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
    tinkling with their feet;
¹⁷ the Lord will afflict with scabs
    the heads of the daughters of Zion,
    and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
