Isaías 4

Isaías 4:1

Constable commenting on the toll war takes on the male population reminds us… For example, approximately one million French, one million German, and half a million English male soldiers died in World War I… Long gone is the hope to gain a man through seduction of the eyes (cf. 3:16). Now even begging and pleading would be ineffective. Women providing their own food and clothing is the reverse of God’s intention in marriage (cf. Exod. 21:10). Likewise women taking men’s places and leading them, as Eve led Adam (Gen. 3), illustrates a desperate situation. (Isaiah - Expository Notes) John
