A Warning to the Comfortable
Commentators explain that Isaiah's call to the 'women at ease' is a direct warning to those who have become complacent and spiritually careless due to their wealth and comfort. Scholars like Calvin and Barnes see this as a message that material security can lead to a dangerous indifference toward God's commands. The prophecy serves as a stark reminder that no one is exempt from judgment, especially those who trust in their comfortable circumstances rather than in God.
