For behold, the Lord God of armies is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the entire supply of bread And the entire supply of water;The mighty man and the warrior, The judge and the prophet, The diviner and the elder,The captain of fifty and the esteemed person, The counselor and the expert artisan, And the skillful enchanter.And I will make mere boys their leaders, And mischievous children will rule over them,And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will assault the elder, And the contemptible person will assault the one honored.When a man 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 authority,”He will protest on that day, saying,“ I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”
