Isaiah 3

As we liken the scriptures unto ourselves, Isaiah explains what will eventually happen to any nation, particularly our own, as we fail to keep the Lord's commandments and fall into inquity -

FOR, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from [any wicked nation] the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
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:
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For [that nation] is ruined, and ... is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory."  (Old Testament | Isaiah 3:1 - 8)

I truly believe this and concerns me greatly as our nations continues to move farther and farther away from His teachings and standards.

Isaiah even comments on a current example -

"The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not...."  (Old Testament | Isaiah 3:9)

And as a result of their wickedness -

"...children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."  (Old Testament | Isaiah 3:12)

In my mind, "women rule over them" does not suggest that women cannot be effective leaders.  I think is is more in line with wicked women such as celebrities or pornagraphy that leads the into forbidden paths.
