3:4 The Lord says,
malicious young men
3:5 The people will treat each other harshly;
men will oppose each other;
neighbors will fight.
Youths will proudly defy the elderly
and riffraff will challenge those who were once respected.
3:6 Indeed, a man will grab his brother
right in his father’s house
‘You own a coat –
you be our leader!
This heap of ruins will be under your control.’
3:7 At that time
‘I am no doctor,
I have no food or coat in my house;
don’t make me a leader of the people!’”
