Isaiah 3:8-15

Isaiah 3:8-15 TPT

Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because their words and their works are defiant before the face of the Lord’s glorious presence. The look on their impudent faces says it all, for they publicly flaunt their sin like Sodom, not even trying to hide it. Woe to their souls, for they invite disaster upon themselves. Yet reassure the righteous; it will go well with them! They will fully enjoy the reward of their deeds. But woe to the guilty, for they will get fully what they deserve! My people, mockers exploit you and creditors rule over you. My people, your leaders mislead you and confuse you with their guidance. YAHWEH is taking his rightful place in court; he is rising to judge his people. YAHWEH comes to issue the guilty verdict of the elders and leaders of his people, saying: “You are the ones who have ruined the nation! Your houses are full of what you’ve stolen from the poor! What gives you the right to crush my people by shoving the faces of the poor into the dirt?” YAHWEH, the Sovereign One, Commander of Angel Armies, has spoken.
