Isaiah 3:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Chosen Leader: I will not play the nurse for your wounds.
        Do not elect me to lead the people—I can barely feed and clothe my own.

⁸ O how this precious city, this Jerusalem, has gone wrong,
    and Judah is in shambles.
For all they say and do is an affront to the Eternal,
    resisting His glorious presence.
⁹ The look on their faces tells the true story;
    they flaunt their sins like Sodom.
They don’t even try to hide them—how terrible it will be for them,
    for they will pay for their self-serving carelessness.
