The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem and Judah
3Here is what
the Lord who rules over all is about to do.
The Lord will take away from Jerusalem and Judah
supplies and help alike.
He will take away all of the supplies of food and water.
2He’ll take away heroes and soldiers.
He’ll take away judges and prophets.
He’ll take away fortune tellers and elders.
3He’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.
4The Lord will make young boys rule over all of them.
Mere children will govern them.

Doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff,
The whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

And the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
And I will give children to be their princes,
And babes shall rule over them.
