Isaiah 3:1-5 ▼

1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,

3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.

4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
