Isaiah 3:13

13 The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.

Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 3:13 In-Context

11 Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12 As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.

13 The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.

15 Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
