Isaiah 3:8 in context

Isaiah 3:5–11

5

The people will be oppressed,

everyone by another,

and everyone by his neighbor.

The child will behave himself proudly against the old man,

and the wicked against the honorable.

6

Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying,

“You have clothing, you be our ruler,

and let this ruin be under your hand.”

7

In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer;

for in my house is neither bread nor clothing.

You shall not make me ruler of the people.”

8
Selected verse

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen;

because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD,

to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9

The look of their faces testify against them.

They parade their sin like Sodom.

They don’t hide it.

Woe to their soul!

For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

10

Tell the righteous that it will be well with them,

for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

11

Woe to the wicked!

Disaster is upon them,

for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
