6. When anyone seizes a brotherin their father’s house, saying,“You have clothes! Be our ruler,and take in hand this ruin!”—
7. He will cry out in that day:“I cannot be a healer,when there is neither bread nor clothing in my own house!You will not make me a ruler of the people!”
8. Jerusalem has stumbled, Judah has fallen;for their speech and deeds affront the Lord,a provocation in the sight of his majesty.
9. Their very look bears witness against them;they boast of their sin like Sodom,They do not hide it.Woe to them!They deal out evil to themselves.
