Isaiah 3:1-7

The Removal of Support and Leadership

Isaiah 3:1-7
1
For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
2
Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
3
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
4
And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
5
And the people hath exacted--man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
6
When one layeth hold on his brother, Of the house of his father, by the garment, `Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin is under thy hand.'
7
He lifteth up, in that day, saying: `I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler of the people.'
