New International Reader's Version

Isaiah 3:3-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. He'll take away captains of companies of 50 men. He'll take away government leaders. He'll take away advisers, skilled workers and those who are clever at doing evil magic.

4. The Lord will make young boys rule over all of them. Mere children will govern them.

5. People will crush one another. They will fight against each other. They will fight against their neighbors. Young people will attack old people. Ordinary people will attack those who are more important.

6. A man will grab hold of one of his brothers at his father's home. He will say, "You have a coat. So you be our leader. Take charge of all of these broken-down buildings!"
