Isaiah 3:13-15

The Lord standeth up to plead

God’s controversy

The management of this controversy.

I. GOD HIMSELF IS THE PROSECUTOR.

II. THE INDICTMENT IS PROVED BY THE NOTORIOUS EVIDENCE OF THE FACT (Isaiah 3:15).

III. THE CONTROVERSY IS ALREADY BEGUN IN THE CHANGE OF THE MINISTRY. To punish those that had abused their power to ill purposes, God sets those over them that had not sense to use it to any good purposes (Isaiah 3:12). (M. Henry.)
