Wycliffe - Isaiah - 3

3:1  For lo! the lordli gouernour, the Lord of oostis, schal take awei fro Jerusalem and fro Juda a myyti man, and strong, and al the strengthe of breed, and al the strengthe of watir;

3:2  a strong man, and a man a werriour, and a domesman, and a profete, and a false dyuynour in auteris, and an elde man,

3:3  a prince ouer fifti men, and a worschipful man in cheer, and a counselour, and a wijs man of principal crafti men, and a prudent man of mystik, ethir goostli, speche.

3:4  And Y schal yyue children the princes of hem, and men of wymmens condiciouns schulen be lordis of hem.

3:5  And the puple schal falle doun, a man to a man, ech man to his neiybore; a child schal make noyse ayens an eld man, and an vnnoble man ayens a noble man.

3:6  For a man schal take his brother, the meneal of his fadir, and schal seie, A clooth is to thee, be thou oure prince; forsothe this fallyng be vndur thin hond.

3:7  And he schal answere in that dai, and seie, Y am no leche, and nether breed, nether cloth is in myn hous; nyle ye make me prince of the puple.

3:8  For whi Jerusalem felle doun, and Juda felle doun togidere; for the tunge of hem, and the fyndingis of hem weren ayens the Lord, for to terre to wraththe the iyen of his mageste.

3:9  The knowyng of her cheer schal answere to hem; and thei prechiden her synne, as Sodom dide, and hidden not. Wo to the soule of hem, for whi yuels ben yoldun to hem.

3:10  Seie ye to the iust man, that it schal be to hym wel; for he schal ete the fruyt of hise fyndyngis.

3:11  Wo to the wickid man in to yuel; for whi the yeldyng of hise hondis schal be maad to hym.

3:12  The wrongful axeris of my puple robbiden it, and wymmen weren lordis therof. Mi puple, thei that seien thee blessid, disseyuen thee, and distrien the weie of thi steppis.

3:13  The Lord stondith for to deme, and `the Lord stondith for to deme puplis;

3:14  the Lord schal come to doom, with the eldere men of his puple, and with hise princes; for ye han wastid my vyner, and the raueyn of a pore man is in youre hous.

3:15  Whi al to-breken ye my puple, and grynden togidere the faces of pore men? seith the Lord God of oostis.

3:16  And the Lord God seide, For that that the douytris of Syon weren reisid, and yeden with a necke stretchid forth, and yeden bi signes of iyen, and flappiden with hondis, and yeden, and with her feet yeden in wel araied goyng,

3:17  the Lord schal make ballyd the nol of the douytris of Sion, and the Lord schal make nakid the heer of hem.

3:18  In that dai the Lord schal take awei the ournement of schoon, and goldun litle bellis lijk the moone,

3:19  and ribans, and brochis, and ournementis of armes nyy the schuldris, and mytris, ether chapelettis,

3:20  and coombis, and ournementis of armes niy the hondis, and goldun ourenementis lijk laumpreis, and litil vessels of oynementis,

3:21  and eere ryngis, and ryngis, and preciouse stoonys hangynge in the forheed,

3:22  and chaungynge clothis, and mentils, and schetis, ether smockis, and needlis,

3:23  and myrouris, and smal lynun clothis aboute the schuldris, and kercheues, and roketis.

3:24  And stynk shal be for swete odour, and a corde for the girdil; ballidnesse schal be for crispe heer, and an heire for a brest girdil.

3:25  Also thi faireste men schulen falle bi swerd, and thi stronge men schulen falle in batel.

3:26  And the yatis therof schulen weile, and morene; and it schal sitte desolat in erthe.
