Isaiah 3:1-5 ▼

1 Observe this: The Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and from Judah every kind of security: the entire supply of bread and water,

2 the hero and warrior, the judge and prophet, the fortune-teller and elder,

3 the commander of 50 and the dignitary, the counselor, cunning magician, and necromancer.”

4 I will make youths their leaders, and the unstable will govern them.”

5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the youth will act arrogantly toward the elder, and the worthless toward the honorable.
