3 The captain of fifty and the1 honorable man,
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.
5 The people will be oppressed,
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the1 elder,
And the1 base toward the honorable.”
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the1 elder,
And the1 base toward the honorable.”
6 When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your1 power,”
7 In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
