13. The LORD has taken his place to contend, he stands to judge his people.

Isaiah 3 describes God's righteousness against the nation of Judah, which has become corrupt and disobedient. God removes corrupt leaders and, as a result, the people are left without guidance and protection. The chapter also highlights the vanity and arrogance of the women of Judah, who contributed to the moral decay of the nation. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 3:
Isaiah 3:10-11: "Tell them to the righteous that they will well; for they will eat the fruit of their works. Woe to the wicked! It will barely do what your hands have done to you." These verses highlight God's righteousness to reward the righteous and punish the wicked. This is directly related to the theme of divine justice described in Isaiah 3.
Isaiah 3:16: "The Lord said more, Since the daughters of Zion are haughty, and they walk with their neck erected, and with the shameless eyes; and that they walk in short steps, making the ornaments of their feet;" This verse highlights the arrogance and vanity of the women of Judah, which is an important theme in Isaiah 3.
Isaiah 3:17: "The Lord shall make the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover his shame." This verse is a continuation of the theme of vanity and arrogance of the women of Judah and the punishment that God will bring about them.
Isaiah 3:25-26: "Your men will fall into the sword, and your powerful in the battle. And their doors shall moan and mourn; and she, desolate, will be based on the ground." These verses describe the consequence of the removal of Judah's corrupt leaders. Without guidance and protection, the nation is left vulnerable and exposed to attacks.
Isaiah 3:11: "Woe to the wicked! It will barely; for what your hands have done to you." Again, this verse highlights God's righteousness in punishing the wicked of Judah. The corruption and disobedience of the people have serious consequences, which are highlighted in Isaiah 3.
