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.
⁹ The look on their faces bears witness against them;
    they proclaim their sins like Sodom
    without any effort to conceal them.
Woe to them!
    For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
