Isaiah 3: Jerusalem's doom

 In Isaiah 3, Jerusalem will be judged by the Lord. He says: 


“Jerusalem’s on its last legs.

    Judah is soon down for the count.

Everything people say and do

    is at cross-purposes with God,

    a slap in my face.

Brazen in their depravity,

    they flaunt their sins like degenerate Sodom.

Doom to their eternal souls! They’ve made their bed;

    now they’ll sleep in it."


The city will be in chaos:


People will be at each other’s throats,

    stabbing one another in the back:

Neighbor against neighbor, young against old,

    the no-account against the well-respected.



Isaiah 3 is prophecy against Jerusalem that felled due to its depravity. In a way, it is prophecy against the world of today which is falling due to its depravity.
