Isaiah 3:14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for you have eaten up the vineyard… Whoever abandons the sanctuary, the poor should never go away; whoever closes the Bible, the poor man should keep it lying widely open; he should always have a Bible that opens easily, not stiffly, because it is well handled, and is the continual defence of men who cannot defend themselves. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. |
