Isaiah 3:8

8 ruit enim Hierusalem et Iudas concidit quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius

Isaiah 3:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 3:8

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen,
&e.] This is a reason given why the government of them is refused; they were fallen into such a ruinous condition, that there was no probability of recovering them. And the reason of this their fall and ruin is, because their tongue and their doings [are] against the Lord;
against the Lord Jesus Christ, whom they reproached and vilified as an impostor, a blasphemer, and a seditious person; and whom they spit upon, buffeted, scourged, and crucified: to provoke the eyes of his glory;
whose glory, as seen by some in the days of his humiliation, was as the glory of the only begotten of the Father; and, upon his ascension, he was crowned with glory and honour: and as his eyes saw, as well as his ears heard, all their blasphemy and wickedness; so they refusing to have him to reign over them, he was provoked to come in his kingdom with power, and cause his wrath to fall upon them to the uttermost, in the destruction of their country, city, and temple.

7 respondebit in die illa dicens non sum medicus et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum nolite constituere me principem populi

8 ruit enim Hierusalem et Iudas concidit quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius

10 dicite iusto quoniam bene quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet
