Isaiah 3:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh Will Judge Judah’s Leaders

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.”

Isaiah 3:1-7
New International Version

Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah

3 See now, the Lord,
    the Lord Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
    both supply and support:(A)
all supplies of food(B) and all supplies of water,(C)
2     the hero and the warrior,(D)
the judge and the prophet,
    the diviner(E) and the elder,(F)
3 the captain of fifty(G) and the man of rank,(H)
    the counselor, skilled craftsman(I) and clever enchanter.(J)

4 “I will make mere youths their officials;
    children will rule over them.”(K)

5 People will oppress each other—
    man against man, neighbor against neighbor.(L)
The young will rise up against the old,
    the nobody against the honored.

6 A man will seize one of his brothers
    in his father’s house, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
    take charge of this heap of ruins!”
7 But in that day(M) he will cry out,
    “I have no remedy.(N)
I have no food(O) or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”(P)
