Isaiah 3:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 I will place boys as their princes;
the fickle will govern them,(A)
5 And the people will oppress one another,
yes, each one the neighbor.
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
and the base toward the honorable.(B)
6 When anyone seizes a brother
in their father’s house, saying,
“You have clothes! Be our ruler,
and take in hand this ruin!”—
