Isaiah 3:10-11
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be givenc him.
Isa. 3:10, 11. What is contained in these two verses seems to be an introduction to what follows. Through the former part of this book, Isaiah proceeds in his preaching, to the end of chap. 35, agreeably to the direction given him of God in this verse, - interchangeably threatening terrible judgments to the wicked that were in Israel, and revealing glorious promises to the righteous among them; as from hence to the end of this chapter the prophet says to the wicked it shall be ill with him; in the next chapter he says to the righteous it shall be well with him.
