Isaiah 3:10

"The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves."

Key Reflection

In Isaiah 3:10, the "look of their faces" symbolizes the visible manifestation of their hidden sins and pride, revealing a spiritual state that contradicts their outward appearance. By not hiding their sin, they resemble Sodom, inviting judgment, as their blatant wickedness brings about self-inflicted disaster.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Say ye to the righteous -The meaning of this verse and the following is sufficiently plain, though expositors have given some variety of interpretation. They declare a great principle of the divine administration similar to what is stated inIsaiah 1:19-20. Lowth reads it, ‘Pronounce ye a blessing on the just; verily good (shall be to him).’ That it shall be well ... -The word rendered ‘well,’ means ‘good.’ The sense evidently is, that in the divine administration it shall be well to be righteous.
