In context

5And the people shall fall, man upon man, and every man upon his neighbor: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honorable.

6For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father’s household, saying, Thou hast raiment, be thou our ruler, and let my meat be under thee.

— Isaiah 3:7 —

8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues have spoken with iniquity, disobedient as they are toward the Lord.

9Wherefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
