MLV(i)
1 For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff, the whole support of bread and the whole support of water,
2 the mighty man and the man of war, the judge and the prophet and the diviner and the elder,
3 the captain of fifty and the honorable man and the counselor and the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
4 And I will give sons to be their rulers and babes will rule over them. 5 And the people will be oppressed, every one by another and every one by his neighbor. The child himself will behave-proudly against the old man and the base against the honorable.
6 When a man will take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, be our ruler and let this ruin be under your hand, 7 in that day he will lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer, for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You* will not make me ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined and Judah has fallen, because their tongue and their practices are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
