Isaiah 3:2-6

2the mighty men and warriors, judges and prophets, omen readers and leaders,

3captains of groups of fifty, the respected citizens, advisers and those skilled in magical arts, and those who know incantations.

4The Lord says, “I will make youths their officials; malicious young men will rule over them.

5The people will treat each other harshly; men will oppose each other; neighbors will fight. Youths will proudly defy the elderly and riffraff will challenge those who were once respected.

6Indeed, a man will grab his brother right in his father’s house and say, ‘You own a coat – you be our leader! This heap of ruins will be under your control.’
