Isaiah 3:9 Context
7In that day shall he sweare, saying, I will not be an healer: for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people. 8For Ierusalem is ruined, & Iudah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glorie. 9¶ The shew of their countenance doeth witnesse against them, and they declare their sinne as Sodom, they hide it not: woe vnto their soule, for they haue rewarded euill vnto themselues. 10Say yee to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eate the fruit of their doings. 11Woe vnto the wicked, it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him.
