Isa 3:1-3, For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, TAKES AWAY FROM JERUSALEM AND FROM JUDAH The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter.
Because of sin and corruption in Israel, the LORD not only took away their provisions, but their leaders, prophets, judges, honorable men, counselor etc..
2Ki 24:14, Also he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. NONE REMAINED EXCEPT THE POOREST PEOPLE OF THE LAND.

Instead of wise competent leaders, they are replaced by children without understanding. They think only of themselves rather than others! Like our leaders today!

Isa 3:25-26, Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
Judgement came for Israel by the hands of Assyria, and it’s also coming here to our country. For the cry slaughtered children, and the corruption of this country has reached HIS ears! Remember HE is loving, but also Just!
