1 For look, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is removing every source of support from Jerusalem and from Judah: all of the supplies of bread and all of the supplies of water,
2 mighty warrior and man of war, judge and prophet, and diviner and elder,
3 captain of fifty and the honorable men of rank, and counselor and skillful magicians and skillful enchanter.
4 And I will make boys their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5 And the people will be oppressed by each other and a man by his neighbor. The boy will act arrogantly toward the elder, and the dishonorable toward the honorable.
6 Indeed, a man will seize his brother in the house of his father: “You have a cloak; you shall be a leader for us, and this heap of ruins shall be under your hand!”
7 He will lift up his voice on that day, saying, “I will not be a healer; in my house there is no bread and there is no cloak. You shall not make me the leader of the people!”
