3 For behold, the Lord ^[a]God of armies ^(A)is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both supply and support, the entire supply of bread
And the entire supply of water;
^2 (B)The mighty man and the warrior,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
³ The captain of fifty and the esteemed person,
The counselor and the expert artisan,
And the skillful enchanter.
⁴ And I will make mere ^(C)boys their leaders,
And ^[b]mischievous 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 assault the elder,
And the contemptible person will assault the one honored.
⁶ When a man ^(F)lays hold of his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler!
And these ruins will be under your ^[c]authority,”
⁷ He will ^[d]protest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your ^[e](G)healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”
