Isaiah 3:1-5 ▼

1 The Lord, the LORD of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judah Support and staff— all support of bread, all support of water:

2 Hero and warrior, judge and prophet, diviner and elder,

3 The captain of fifty and the nobleman, counselor, skilled magician, and expert charmer.

4 I will place boys as their princes; the fickle will govern them,

5 And the people will oppress one another, yes, each one the neighbor. The child will be insolent toward the elder, and the base toward the honorable.
