3:6 Indeed, a man will grab his brother
right in his father’s house 1 and say, 2
‘You own a coat –
you be our leader!
This heap of ruins will be under your control.’ 3
3:7 At that time 4 the brother will shout, 5
‘I am no doctor, 6
I have no food or coat in my house;
don’t make me a leader of the people!’”
