Isaiah 3:1-7
Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem
1 For behold, the aLord God of hostsis taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah
support and supply, ▼
▼Hebrew staff
all csupport of bread,
and all support of water;
2 dthe mighty man and the soldier,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3the captain of fifty
and the man of rank,
the counselor and the skillful magician
and the expert in charms.
4 eAnd I will make boys their princes,
and infants ▼
▼Or caprice
shall rule over them.5 gAnd the people will oppress one another,
every one his fellow
and every one his neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
and the despised to the honorable.
6 For ha man will take hold of his brother
in the house of his father, saying:
“You have a cloak;
you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
shall be under your rule”;
7in that day he will speak out, saying:
“I will not be a ihealer; ▼
▼Hebrew binder of wounds
in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
leader of the people.”
