3 The captain of fifty, The honorable man, The counselor, The skilled craftsman, And the clever enchanter.
4 I will give boys to be their princes, And children shall rule over them.
5 The people will be oppressed, Everyone by another, And everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, And the base against the honorable.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, 'You have clothing, you be our ruler, And let this ruin be under your hand.'
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; For in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
