Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
Isaiah portrays the LORD standing to judge and specifically targets elders and officials (Isaiah 3:13-14). They are accused of devouring the vineyard and crushing the poor, with stolen goods in their houses (Isaiah 3:14-15).
13Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes of it: It is you who have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses:
15what do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.
