Isaiah 3:5 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

5People will oppress each other—

man against man, neighbor against neighbor.

The young will rise up against the old,

the nobody against the honored.

5And the people will be oppressed,

Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;

The youth will assault the elder,

And the contemptible person will assault the one honored.

5And the people will be oppressed,

Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;

The youth will storm against the elder

And the inferior against the honorable.

5And the people will be oppressed,

Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;

The boy will be arrogant and insolent toward the elder

And the vulgar (common) toward the honorable [person of rank].

5The people will oppress one another,

man against man, neighbor against neighbor;

the young will rise up against the old,

and the base against the honorable.

5People will treat one another badly.

They will fight against one another.

They will fight against their neighbors.

Young people will attack old people.

Ordinary people will attack those who are more important.
