Isaías 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 3:15

What mean ye, [that] ye beat my people to pieces
Reduce them to the utmost poverty; so the Targum,

``wherefore do ye impoverish my people?''
as they did by exacting tithes of all that they possessed; by requiring large sums for their long prayers; and by various traditions they enjoined them to observe: and grind the faces of the poor?
either by smiting them on the cheek, as Christ, who became poor for our sakes, was smitten by them; or by bringing them into such low circumstances, by their exorbitant demands, that they had not sufficiency of food to eat; by which means their faces became pale, thin, and meagre: saith the Lord God of Hosts:
who saw all their actions, and was able to plead his people's cause, and take vengeance on their oppressors.

Isaías 3:15 In-Context

13 El SEÑOR se levanta para contender, está en pie para juzgar a los pueblos.
14 El SEÑOR entra en juicio con los ancianos de su pueblo y con sus príncipes: Pues vosotros habéis devorado la viña, el despojo del pobre está en vuestras casas.
15 ¿Qué pensáis al aplastar a mi pueblo y al moler la cara de los pobres? declara el Señor, DIOS de los ejércitos.
16 Además, dijo el SEÑOR: Puesto que las hijas de Sion son orgullosas, andan con el cuello erguido y los ojos seductores, y caminan con paso menudo haciendo tintinear las ajorcas en sus pies,
17 el Señor herirá con tiña el cráneo de las hijas de Sion, y el SEÑOR desnudará su frente.
