Isaiah 3:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵The people will be oppressed,
    everyone by another
    and everyone by a neighbour;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
    and the base to the honourable.

⁶Someone will even seize a relative,
    a member of the clan, saying,
‘You have a cloak;
    you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    shall be under your rule.’
⁷But the other will cry out on that day, saying,
‘I will not be a healer;
    in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
    leader of the people.’
