Isaiah 3:1-7

Legacy Standard Bible

3 For behold, the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, ^(A)is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both ^[a]supply and support, the whole ^[b]supply of bread
And the whole ^[c]supply of water,
^2 (B)The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
³ The commander of fifty and the ^[d]highly respected man,
The counselor and the wise craftsman,
And the experienced enchanter.
⁴ And I will make ^(C)young men their princes,
And ^[e]capricious children will rule over them,
⁵ And the people will be ^(D)oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his ^(E)neighbor;
The youth will overwhelm the elder
And the dishonorable against the honorable.
⁶ When a man ^(F)grasps his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler,
And these ruins will be under your hand,”
⁷ He will ^[f]protest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your ^[g](G)healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”
