Bible verse
For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
Isaiah 3:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 3.
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.
9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
