    in the house of his father:
You have a cloak;[a]
    you shall be a leader for us,
    and this heap of ruins shall be under your hand!”
He will lift up his voice on that day, saying,
“I will not be a healer;
    in my house there is no bread
        and there is no cloak.
    You shall not make me the leader of the people!”
For Jerusalem has stumbled,
    and Judah has fallen
because their speech and their deeds are against Yahweh,
    defying the eyes of his glory.

  1. Isaiah 3:6 Literally “a cloak for you”

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!”
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)

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