1 Now the Lord God of heavenly forces is removing from Jerusalem and from Judah every form of support:all rations of food and water;
2 soldier and warrior;judge and prophet;fortune-teller and elder;
3 commander and celebrity;counselor, clever craftsman, and cunning charmer.
4 I will make youths their commanders;mischief makers will rule over them.
5 The people will oppress each other,each one against the other, neighbor against neighbor.The young will bully the old,the rogue, and the respectable.
6 Someone will seize a family member, saying, "You have clothing! You be our leader!This mess will be your responsibility!"
