Isaiah 3:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 And I will make mere (A)boys their leaders,
And [a]mischievous children will rule over them,
5 And the people will be (B)oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his (C)neighbor;
The youth will assault the elder,
And the contemptible person will assault the one honored.
6 When a man (D)lays hold of his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler!
And these ruins will be under your [b]authority,”

Isaiah 3:4-6
New International Version
4 “I will make mere youths their officials;
children will rule over them.”(A)
5 People will oppress each other—
man against man, neighbor against neighbor.(B)
The young will rise up against the old,
the nobody against the honored.
6 A man will seize one of his brothers
in his father’s house, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
take charge of this heap of ruins!”
