    In Isaiah 3: 16-21, who is God talking to, only the daughter of Zion to everyone.

    Annette T Ford Isaiah 3 This is not a really good time in history for Gods chosen people, they were going after idolatrous practices and worship and displaying total arrogance against God. The daughter of Zion is a figure of speech for Israel, when you look ar Isaiah 1:10-19 God explains how Israel is being like whore with her idolatrous worship and yet in verses 16-19 if you repent of your works I'll deliver you. Many times when God delivered the children of Israel in time they went back to worshipping other gods. God Bless

    Hi Annette At the time the prophet Isaiah was called by God to tell Israel to repent of all there idolatrous practices which were many and horrible. The term daughters of zion is a figure of speech to represent Israel. All of there modes of worship at that time were idolatrous pagan practices in Isaiah 1:13 the statement I cannot away with literally means I cannot tolerate it any more. Being the forgiving and loving God he is he tells them in verses 16-19 get your act together and I will heal you and the land, verse 20 but if you don't this will happen. Throughout the old testament the children of Israel were stiffnecked and defiant but God always keep His covenant and promises God is always faithful to His Word. God Bless
