3:3 captains of groups of fifty,
the respected citizens, 1
advisers and those skilled in magical arts, 2
and those who know incantations.
3:4 The Lord says, 3 “I will make youths their officials;
malicious young men 4 will rule over them.
3:5 The people will treat each other harshly;
men will oppose each other;
neighbors will fight. 5
Youths will proudly defy the elderly
and riffraff will challenge those who were once respected. 6
