Reading Isaiah 3

Chapter 2 ended with the warning:
"Stop trusting in man,
who has put a breath in his nostrils. [refers to man's mortality]
Of what account is he?" v.22

Chapter 3 begins with a prediction of Jerusalem besieged and her leaders destroyed.

"Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the LORD,
defying his glorious presence.
...Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves." v.8-9

It describes a time when God will judge his people for their wrongdoing - in particular, the leaders:

"The LORD takes his place in court;
he rises to judge the people.
The LORD enteres into judgement
against the elders and leaders of his people:
'It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
What do you mean by crushing my people
and grinding the faces of the poor?'
declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty." v. 13-15

=The LORD is concerned with JUSTICE=

The second part of the chapter deals with the women of Judah, who have concerned themselves with clothing and jewellery rather than God.

"In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery:" v. 18
