The Removal of Proud Women (Isaiah 3:16-4:1)


To deal with the pride of man expressing itself in self-exaltation (2:6-4:1), God will humble:
  1. God's people (2:6-11)--for their idolatry (magic, money and military might).
  2. All people (2:12-22)--resulting in humiliation, disillusionment and fear.
  3. Men--for their oppressive leadership (3:1-15). Removal of Judah's arrogant male leaders.
  4. Women--for their vanity leading to flirtatiousness, ostentation, shame and insecurity (3:16-4:1). God's judgement would be the removal of Judah's proud women.
