Yeshayah 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 3:13

The Lord standeth up to plead
His own cause, or the cause of his son against the Jews that rejected him, and the Scribes and Pharisees that led them to an ill opinion of him: and standeth to judge the people.
Both expressions show indignation and resentment; he rises up out of his place, and stands up in defence of his cause, and avenges himself on a wicked and ungrateful people: it seems to have reference to the judgments of God on the people of the Jews, the tribes of Israel.

Yeshayah 3:13 In-Context

11 Oy to the rasha! It shall be rah with him; for what his hands have wrought will be done to him.

12 As for My people, children are their nogesim (taskmasters), and nashim rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to go astray, misleading and swallowing up the Derech Orkhot (way of paths) of thee.

13 Hashem hath stood to accuse, and standeth for Din (judging) the Amim (Nations).

14 Hashem will enter into mishpat with the Ziknei Amo (Elders of His People), and the sarim thereof; for ye have eaten up the kerem (vineyard); the plunder of the oni is in your batim (houses).
