Isaiah 3:1-5 ▼

1 The Lord, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, will take away from Jerusalem and Judah everything they depend on: every bit of bread and every drop of water,

2 all their heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortune-tellers and elders,

3 army officers and high officials, advisers, skilled sorcerers, and astrologers.

4 I will make boys their leaders, and toddlers their rulers.

5 People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor. Young people will insult their elders, and vulgar people will sneer at the honorable.
