Matthew Henry Commentary Isaiah 3:10-15

"Say ye of the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples. Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts." — Isaiah 3:10-15 (ASV)

The rule was certain; whatever national prosperity or trouble might exist, it would be well with the righteous and ill with the wicked. Blessed be God, there is abundant encouragement for the righteous to trust in Him, and for sinners to repent and return to Him. It was time for the Lord to show His might.

He will call people to a strict account for all the wealth and power entrusted to and abused by them. If it is sinful to disregard the necessities of the poor, how odious and wicked a part they play, who bring people into poverty and then oppress them!
