isaiah 3:7 On that day will he protest, saying, "I will not be [your] healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."

< Isaiah 3:6
Isaiah 3:8 >

      7. swear--literally, "lift up," namely, his hand; the gesture used in solemn attestation. Or, his voice, that is, answer; so Vulgate.
      healer--of the body politic, incurably diseased (Isa 1:6).
      neither . . . clothing--so as to relieve the people and maintain a ruler's dignity. A nation's state must be bad indeed, when none among men, naturally ambitious, is willing to accept office.

JFB.
