ISAIAH CHAPTER 3.
Great confusion on both people and rulers for their sin and impudence in it, Isa_3:1-9. Peace to the righteous, and misery to the wicked, Isa_3:10,11. The oppression and covetousness of the rulers, Isa_3:12-15. The pride of women, and its judgments, Isa_3:16-26.
Behold; look upon it as a thing as certain as if it were already done.
The stay and the staff; all the supports of their state and church. The whole stay of bread, called elsewhere the staff of bread; whereby is understood either,
1. The nourishing power of bread, which wholly depend upon God’s blessing; or rather,
2. Bread itself, as this phrase is understood, Lev_26:26 Psa_105:16 Eze_4:16, and directly explained, Eze_5:16, bread which is the staff of life.
