LECTIONARY OPTION
The book of Isaiah read at Lauds and VespersDRA Isaiah 2: 6-9; 3:1-7 modernized
The Final Crises
For you have cast off your people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children. Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures. And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made. And man has bowed himself down, and man has been debased: therefore forgive them not.Social Chaos
Chapter 3 For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water. The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient. The captain over fifty, and the honorable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.
And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them. And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbor: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honorable. For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: You have a garment, be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand. In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
