1

For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support,

and the whole supply of water;

2

the mighty man,

the man of war,

the judge,

the prophet,

the diviner,

the elder,

the counselor,

the skilled craftsman,

Selected verse

I will give boys to be their princes,

and children shall rule over them.

5

The people will be oppressed,

everyone by another,

and everyone by his neighbor.

The child will behave himself proudly against the old man,

and the wicked against the honorable.

6

Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying,

“You have clothing, you be our ruler,

and let this ruin be under your hand.”

7

In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer;

for in my house is neither bread nor clothing.

You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
