Isaiah 3:13-15
International Standard Version
When God Goes to Court
13 The Lord is taking his place to argue his case;
he’s standing up to judge the people.
14 The Lord will go to court[a]
to oppose[b] the elders and princes of his people:
“You’re the ones who have been devouring the vineyard,
the plunder of the poor is in your own houses!
15 How dare you crush[c] my people
as you grind down the face of the poor?”
declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.[d]
