Isaiah 3:4-8

3:4

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

children
<05288>

[to be] their princes
<08269>_,

and babes
<08586>

shall rule
<04910> (8799)

over them.

3:5

And the people
<05971>

shall be oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,

every one
<0376>

by another
<0376>_,

and every one
<0376>

by his neighbour
<07453>_:

the child
<05288>

shall behave himself proudly
<07292> (8799)

against the ancient
<02205>_,

and the base
<07034> (8737)

against the honourable
<03513> (8737)_.

3:6

When a man
<0376>

shall take hold
<08610> (8799)

of his brother
<0251>

of the house
<01004>

of his father
<01>_,

[saying], Thou hast clothing
<08071>_,

be thou our ruler
<07101>_,

and [let] this ruin
<04384>

[be] under thy hand
<03027>_:

3:7

In that day
<03117>

shall he swear
<05375> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I will not be an healer
<02280> (8802)_;

for in my house
<01004>

[is] neither bread
<03899>

nor clothing
<08071>_:

make
<07760> (8799)

me not a ruler
<07101>

of the people
<05971>_.

{swear: Heb. lift up the hand} {healer: Heb. binder up}

3:8

For Jerusalem
<03389>

is ruined
<03782> (8804)_,

and Judah
<03063>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_:

because their tongue
<03956>

and their doings
<04611>

[are] against the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke
<04784> (8687)

the eyes
<05869>

of his glory
<03519>_.
