Isaiah 3:10

Isaiah 3:10

8 For ^aJerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.

9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as ^aSodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.

10 “Say to the righteous ^athat it shall be well with them,
^bFor they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe to the wicked! ^aIt shall be ill with him,
For the reward of his hands shall be¹ given him.

12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! ^aThose who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”

Oppression and Luxury Condemned

13 The Lord stands up ^ato plead,
And stands to judge the people.
