Isaiah 3:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ “For a man will grab his brother
    in his own father’s house,
and say, ‘You have a cloak,
    so you be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    will be under your rule!’

⁷ “But^[a] at that time,^[b] he’ll protest!^[c]
    He’ll say, ‘I won’t be your healer.
I have neither food nor clothing in my house!
    You’re not going to make me a leader of the people!’

⁸ “For Jerusalem has stumbled,
    and Judah has fallen,
because what they say and do opposes^[d] the Lord;
    they keep defying him.^[e]
