Isaiah 3:2-8

1. 2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

2. 3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

3. 4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

4. 5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

5. 6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

6. 7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

7. 8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
