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:
When a man shall take hold of his brother, of the house of his father, (saying), Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler. Such will be the want of men of wealth and ability, that they will "take hold of" (Isaiah 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 (2 Kings 5:5).
And (let) this ruin (be) under thy hand - let our ruined affairs be committed to thee to retrieve.
