The Reason for Judgment: Sin and Oppression

Isaiah 3:8-15

For Yerushalayim is ruined, and Y'hudah has fallen; because their words and deeds defy ADONAI, in open provocation of his glory.

Their very look witnesses against them! They parade their sin, like S'dom; they don't even try to hide it - all the worse for them! - they bring evil on themselves.

Say that it will go well with the righteous, that they will enjoy the fruit of their actions;

but woe to the wicked, it will go badly with him; for what he has done will be done to him.

My people - children oppress them, and women are ruling over them. My people! Your guides lead you astray and obliterate the paths you should follow.

ADONAI rises to accuse, he stands to judge the peoples.

ADONAI presents the indictment against the leaders and officers of his people: "It is you who devour the vineyard; in your houses is plunder taken from the poor.

What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding down the faces of the poor?" says Adonai ELOHIM-Tzva'ot.
