2. Hero and warrior,judge and prophet, diviner and elder,
3. The captain of fifty and the nobleman,counselor, skilled magician, and expert charmer.
4. I will place boys as their princes;the fickle will govern them,
5. And the people will oppress one another,yes, each one the neighbor.The child will be insolent toward the elder,and the base toward the honorable.
6. When anyone seizes a brotherin their father’s house, saying,“You have clothes! Be our ruler,and take in hand this ruin!”—
