Bible verse
“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
Isaiah 3:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 3.
1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
