    ·from his own family [L in his father’s house] and say,
“You have a ·coat [cloak; C a sign of a little wealth], so you will be our leader.
    These ruins will be under your ·control [charge; rule; L hand].”
·But [L In that day] that brother will ·stand up [or cry out] and say,
    “I ·cannot help you [L am no binder (of wounds)],
because I do not have food or ·clothes [cloak] in my house.
    You will not make me ·your leader [L leader of the people/nation].”

    and Judah has fallen.
The things they say and do are against the Lord;
    they ·turn against [rebel against; defy] ·him [L his glory/glorious presence].
