3:4 Conditions would be so severe that boys and toddlers would qualify as candidates for office.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them
(Some words not found in UHB: and,make boys princes,their and,babes rule in/on/at/with,them )
These phrases mean basically the same thing. This could mean: (1) “I will place young people as their leaders, and those young people will rule over them” or (2) “youths” is a metaphor for simple and foolish men. Alternate translation: “I will place over them leaders who are immature, like young people, and those bad leaders will rule over them” (See also: figs-metaphor)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) I will place
(Some words not found in UHB: and,make boys princes,their and,babes rule in/on/at/with,them )
Here the word “I” refers to Yahweh. This can also be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh says, ‘I will place”
