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.”
8 For aJerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
And they declare their sin as aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
