1. For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stock and the store, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water.
2. The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the elder,
3. The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skilled craftsman, and the eloquent orator.
4. And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5. And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable.
