Commentary on Isaiah 3:4

Theological / Devotional

I will give children. The leadership in national affairs would fall into the hands of men with the brains of children. Men lacking in ability would be chosen to govern the nation. There would be a grave lack of capable leaders, and as a result affairs would go from bad to worse. “Babes” — capricious individuals, men lacking clarity of thought and judiciousness of action — would make dire decisions and control the destiny of the state. Under such conditions national doom would be swift and certain.
