What does Isaiah 3:15 mean?
Now the Lord sounds angry. He stands as a judge in a courtroom making the case against the leaders of His own people, Israel (Isaiah 3:13). He has described their practice of taking what little the poor have for themselves (Isaiah 3:14). One can almost hear God raising His voice as He asks His people to explain themselves and their sin.The Lord uses language descriptive of the mill used to grind grain into flour. He says the leaders of Judah have been doing the same to the poor: grinding their faces between the heavy stones of the mill to turn them into powder. Isaiah adds that it is the Lord God of hosts bringing this charge. He leaves no question of the severity of the charges laid against His people.
