ISV(i)
1 Judgment Comes to Judah’s Leaders “Note this! The Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah everything that your society needs— all food supplies and all water supplies,
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the fortune-teller and the elder,
3 the commander of fifty and the man of rank, and the counselor, the expert magician, and the medium.
4 “I will make youths their princes, and infants will rule over them.
5 People will oppress one another— It will be man against man and neighbor against neighbor. The young will be disrespectful to the old, and the worthless to the honorable.
6 “For a man will grab his brother in his own father’s house, and say, ‘You have a cloak, so you be our leader, and this heap of ruins will be under your rule!’
7 “But at that time, he’ll protest! He’ll say, ‘I won’t be your healer. I have neither food nor clothing in my house! You’re not going to make me a leader of the people!’
