Isaiah

Isaiah 3:8–11

⁸For Jerusalem has stumbled

and Judah has fallen

because they spoke and acted against the LORD,

defying His glorious presence.^c

⁹The expression on their faces testifies against them,

and like Sodom they flaunt their sin;

they do not conceal it.

Woe to them,

for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

¹⁰Tell the righteous it will be well with them,

for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

¹¹Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them!

For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
