Isaiah 3:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Everyone will take advantage of everyone else. Young people will not respect their elders, and worthless people will not respect their superiors.

⁶ A time will come when the members of a clan will choose one of their number and say to him, “You at least have something to wear, so be our leader in this time of trouble.”

⁷ But he will answer, “Not me! I can't help you. I don't have any food or clothes either. Don't make me your leader!”
