Isaiah 3:5

Leaders Of Judah And Jerusalem

⁴ “I will make youths their leaders,
and the unstable will govern them.”
⁵ The people will oppress one another,
man against man, neighbor against neighbor;
the youth will act arrogantly toward the elder,
and the worthless toward the honorable.
⁶ A man will even seize his brother
in his father’s house, saying:
“You have a cloak—you be our leader!
This heap of rubble will be under your control.”
