Reading for April 14th

Read Isaiah 3.1-12 In 3.1-4.1: Confusion in Judah and Jerusalem. In verses 1-8: The city and the land will suffer famine and the loss of their natural resoursces, bringing confusion and panic. There will be no capable judges and elders (vv. 1-5), bringing economic ruin and social chaos (v. 6) with the breakdown of law and order. The broader context indicates that this is the consequence of appresive foreign invasions and interference (see chs. 5-12). In verses 9-12: The readers of that time would know, only too well, the ruined state of Judah and its chief city. Disobedience and indifference to the Lord God had brought such misfortune upon them.
