Lo! days are coming, when I will hew off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father,—that there shall be no elder in thy house;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In Context

30Hence, the oracle of Yahweh God of Israel, I, said, that, thy house, and the house of thy father, should go to and fro in my presence, unto times age-abiding: But, now, (is the oracle of Yahweh)—Be it far from me!

32But thou shalt descry distress at home, in all that shall gladden Israel,—and there shall not be an elder in thine own house, all the days.
