rsv@Isaiah:3:1 @ For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;
rsv@Isaiah:3:2 @ the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder,
rsv@Isaiah:3:3 @ the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skilful magician and the expert in charms.
rsv@Isaiah:3:4 @ And I will make boys their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
rsv@Isaiah:3:5 @ And the people will oppress one another, every man his fellow and every man his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the base fellow to the honorable.
rsv@Isaiah:3:6 @ When a man takes hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: "You have a mantle; you shall be our leader, and this heap of ruins shall be under your rule";
rsv@Isaiah:3:7 @ in that day he will speak out, saying: "I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor mantle; you shall not make me leader of the people."
rsv@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.
