Isaiah 3:4-8
4
I will make boys their officials;
mere children will govern them.
5
People will oppress each other—
man against man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
the base against the honorable.
6
A man will seize one of his brothers
at his father’s home, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
take charge of this heap of ruins!”
7
But in that day he will cry out,
“I have no remedy.
I have no food or clothing in my house;
do not make me the leader of the people.”
8
Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the Lord,
defying his glorious presence.
