5  ^c“Look among the nations, and see;

wonder and be astounded.

For ^dI am doing a work in your days

that you would not believe if told.

1  For behold, the Lord God of hosts

is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah

support and supply,¹

all support of bread,

and all support of water;

2  the mighty man and the soldier,

the judge and the prophet,

the diviner and the elder,

3  the captain of fifty

and the man of rank,

the counselor and the skillful magician

and the expert in charms.

4  And I will make boys their princes,

and infants² shall rule over them.
