Isaiah 3:6 in Context — Isaiah 3

4 Y pondréles mozos por príncipes, y muchachos serán sus señores.

5 Y el pueblo hará violencia los unos á los otros, cada cual contra su vecino: el mozo se levantará contra el viejo, y el villano contra el noble.

6 Cuando alguno trabare de su hermano, de la familia de su padre, [y le dijere], Que vestir tienes, tú serás nuestro príncipe, y sea en tu mano esta ruina;

7 El jurará aquel día, diciendo: No tomaré ese cuidado; porque en mi casa ni hay pan, ni qué vestir: no me hagáis príncipe del pueblo.

8 Pues arruinada está Jerusalem, y Judá ha caído; porque la lengua de ellos y sus obras han sido contra Jehová, para irritar los ojos de su majestad.
