551.

Judgment of Jerusalem and Judah

1.

Today's Passage: Isaiah 3:1-26


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

4th strategy.
Is this a who, what, when, where, or how passage?
 


  • Begin by inviting God into your reading. Ask Him to join you and show you the plot of this passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Ask yourself as you read the passage which is most important in the passage.
    • Is 'who' the passage about most important?
    • Is 'what' the passage is about most important?
    • Is' when' or 'where' the passage takes place most important?
    • Or is how the passage presented, worked out in time, or motivates the reader most important...?
  • After you decide which is the most important vehicle of the passage, re-read it.
  • Contemplate if this passage could bring you to a fuller understanding of God and His purposes.
  • Thank God for being with you in this endeavor.


1. The Lord, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, will take away from Jerusalem and Judah everything they depend on: every bit of bread and every drop of water,
2. all their heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortune-tellers and elders,
3. army officers and high officials, advisers, skilled craftsmen, and astrologers.
4. I will make boys their leaders, and toddlers their rulers.
5. People will oppress each other ⏤ man against man, neighbor against neighbor. Young people will insult their elders, and vulgar people will sneer at the honorable.

6. In those days a man will say to his brother, "Since you have a coat, you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of ruins!"
7 But he will reply, "No! I can't help. I don't have any extra food or clothes. Don't put me in charge!"

8. For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the LORD and refuse to obey him. They provoke him to his face.
9. The very look on their faces gives them away. They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don't even try to to hide it. They are doomed! They have brought destruction upon themselves.

10. Tell the godly that all will be well for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned!
11. But the wicked are doomed, for they will get exactly what they deserve.

12. Childish leaders oppress my people, and women rule over them. O my people, you leaders mislead you; they send you down the wrong road.
13. The LORD takes his place in court and presents his case against his people!
14. The LORD comes forward to pronounce judgment on the elders and rulers of his people: "You have ruined Israel, my vineyard. Your houses are filled with things stolen from the poor.
15. How dare you crush my people, grinding the faces of the poor into the dust?" demands the Lord, the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
16. The LORD says, "Beautiful Zion is haughty: craning her elegant neck, flirting with her eyes, walking with dainty steps, tinkling her ankle bracelets.
17. So the LORD will send scabs on her head; the LORD will make beautiful Zion bald."

18. On that day of judgment the Lord will strip away everything that makes her beautiful: ornaments, headbands, crescent necklaces,
19. earrings, bracelets, and veils;
20. scarves, ankle bracelets, sashes, perfumes, and charms;
21. rings, jewels,
22 party clothes, gowns, capes, and purses;
23. mirrors, fine linen garments, head ornaments, and shawls.
24. Instead of smelling of sweet perfume, she will stink. She will wear a rope for a sash, and her elegant hair will fall out. She will wear rough burlap instead of rich robes. Shame will replace her beauty.
25. The men of the city will be killed with the sword, and her warriors will die in battle.
26. The gates of Zion will weep and mourn. The city will be like a ravaged woman, huddled on the ground.
Isaiah 3:1-26 NLT

I am thankful for verses like this one slipped on between all the sad judgment.

Then I must ask. Abba. Am I godly enough? And He reminds me, no I’m not, but He is! I stand before Him covered in His righteous holy blood. Praise God. Thank HIM!
