Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 3:13

"Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples." — Isaiah 3:13 (ASV)

The Lord stands up to plead...—The people may think that the prophet is their censor. He makes known to them that Jehovah is their true accuser and their judge. “You,” he says, with all the emphasis of a sudden change of person, as if turning, as he spoke, to the nobles and elders, “you have devoured the vineyard, you have spoiled the poor.” (Proverbs 30:12–14.)
