Isaiah 3

Judah was comfortable in her position. Through her kingdom was not all that God had promised her leaders were established. They were also selfish; the primary reason for their shrinking kingdom.  The leaders of Jerusalem elevated themselves even if it cost the people everything. Because of their persistence in neglecting the weak and ignoring God there was a day promised when all of their comfort would be taken away. But we need to understand why God respond with such punishment. It is not revenge but hope that moves God's heavy hand. Hope that the rebel will seek God's mercy. Hope that the self-rightous will humbly pursue God's heart. Hope that the sinner will seek God's cleansing.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this chapter.
