Targum zu Jeschijahu 3:31

For, behold, the Lord of the world, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of food, and the whole stay of water.

The mighty man, and the man that maketh war, the judge, and the prophet, and the scribe, and the diviner, and the ancient,

The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and he that commands, and he that obeyeth, and the wise in counsel.

And I will appoint sucklings to be their governors, and the weak shall rule over them.

The nations shall wage war, man against man, and a man against his neighbour; children shall rule over the ancient, and the base over the honourable.

For a man shall take hold of his brother, of the family of his father's house, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou a ruler over us, and this ruin shall be under thy government.

He shall answer in that time, saying, I am not a proper person to become a chief, and in my house I have nothing that I could eat, and nothing wherewith I could clothe myself; appoint me not a chief over all this people.

Because the inhabitants of Jerusalem have stumbled, therefore the men of Judah shall go into captivity; surely the speech of their mouth and the wages of their works are revealed before the Lord, and they have provoked to anger His glory.

The shew of their faces in judgment bears testimony against them, and they declare their sins as the Sodomites, and they restrain not. Woe unto them! for they have caused that evil should come upon them.

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with you, for the fruits of their work shall be recompensed.

Woe to the wicked, whose works are evil; because the reward of their hands shall be returned to them.

As for my people, their oppressors plunder them, as those who glean the vineyard; and as usurers they rule over them. 0 my people, those that call thee blessed cause thee to err; and the way of thy path they have perverted.

The Lord is ready to judge, and to reveal Himself to take vengeance of judgment of the nations.

The Lord will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and with their oppressors; because ye have robbed my people, the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

What mean ye, that ye impoverish my people and grind the faces of the poor? They are perishing in their contentions, saith the Lord, the God of hosts.'

And the Lord said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and they are walking with stretched-forth necks, and they walk with their eyes painted, with their hair rolled up, and with their feet they excite lust.

And the Lord shall make servile the glory of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord shall remove their dignity.

In that day the Lord will take away the ornament of their sandals and their cauls and head-nets;

The necklaces, and the bracelets for the hands, and the long robes;

The crowns, the bracelets for the feet, the crisping-pin, and the ear-rings, and the ornament;

And the finger-rings, and the jewels;

The tunics, and the cloaks, and the wimples, and the stays;

The mirrors, and the fine linen, and the crowns, and the veils.

It shall come to pass, that in the place where they were giving forth sweet smells, there shall be putrefaction; and in the place where they were binding the girdles, shall be marks of smiting; and instead of plaited locks, baldness; and instead of their walking in pride, they shall bind on sackcloth; this vengeance shall be taken on them because they have committed fornication in their beauty.

Thy beautiful men shall be killed by the sword, and thy heroes in the war.

And the gates of her city shall be laid desolate, and shall come to an end; and the land shall be laid waste, and shall be destroyed.
