3 For, behold,^[a] the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support,
    the whole supply of bread,
    and the whole supply of water;
²     the mighty man,
    the man of war,
    the judge,
    the prophet,
    the diviner,
    the elder,
³     the captain of fifty,
    the honorable man,
    the counselor,
    the skilled craftsman,
    and the clever enchanter.
⁴ I will give boys to be their princes,
    and children shall rule over them.
⁵ The people will be oppressed,
    everyone by another,
    and everyone by his neighbor.
The child will behave himself proudly against the old man,
    and the wicked against the honorable.
⁶ Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying,
    “You have clothing, you be our ruler,
    and let this ruin be under your hand.”
⁷ In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer;
    for in my house is neither bread nor clothing.
    You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
