Isaiah 3:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴And I will make boys their princes,
    and babes shall rule over them.
⁵The people will be oppressed,
    everyone by another
    and everyone by a neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
    and the base to the honorable.

⁶Someone will even seize a relative,
    a member of the clan, saying,
“You have a cloak;
    you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    shall be under your rule.”
