Isaiah 3:15

Read in context

Isaiah 3:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
