Isaiah 3:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The people shall be oppressed,
    every one by another, and every one by his neighbor;
the youth shall behave himself proudly against the elder,
    and the inferior against the honorable.

⁶ When a man shall take hold of his brother
    in the house of his father saying,
“You have clothing; be our ruler,
    and let this ruin be under your power,”
⁷ in that day he shall swear saying,
    “I will not be a healer.
For in my house is neither bread nor clothing;
    do not make me a ruler of the people.”
