isaiah 3:6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: - Free Bible Online

isaiah 3:6 When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, [saying], "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"


      6. Such will be the want of men of wealth and ability, that they will "take hold of" (Isa 4:1) the first man whom they meet, having any property, to make him "ruler."
      brother--one having no better hereditary claim to be ruler than the "man" supplicating him.
      Thou hast clothing--which none of us has. Changes of raiment are wealth in the East (2Ki 5:5).
      ruin--Let our ruined affairs be committed to thee to retrieve.

JFB.
