⁶ A man will seize one of his brothers
    in his father’s house, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
    take charge of this heap of ruins!”
⁷ But in that day^(A) he will cry out,
    “I have no remedy.^(B)
I have no food^(C) or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”^(D)

⁸ Jerusalem staggers,
    Judah is falling;^(E)
their words^(F) and deeds^(G) are against the Lord,
    defying^(H) his glorious presence.
