Isaiah 3:6-8

King James Version

⁶When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

⁷In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

⁸For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

⁶A man will seize one of his brothers
    in his father’s house, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;

    “I have no remedy.^(B)
I have no food^(C) or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”^(D)

Judah is falling;^(E)
their words^(F) and deeds^(G) are against the Lord,
defying^(H) his glorious presence.
