Isaiah 3:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ A man will take hold of his brother
    in their father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak;
    you will be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    will be under your rule.”
⁷ But on that day
    the other will cry out, saying,
“I am not qualified to undertake this;
    in my house there is neither bread nor clothing.
    You will not make me leader of the people.”
⁸ Jerusalem has been brought low
    and Judah has fallen
because by their words and their deeds
    they turned against the Lord
    and defied his glorious presence.
