Isaiah 3:8

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory." — Isaiah 3:8 (ASV)

For Jerusalem is ruined ...—The outward evils of the kingdom are traced to their true source. Men have provoked, in the prophet’s bold anthropomorphic language, “the eyes of His glory,” the manifestation of His being as All-knowing, Almighty, All-holy.
