Isaiah 3:10-11

Isaiah 3:10-11

[10] Say  ye to the righteous,  that it shall be well  with him: for they shall eat  the fruit  of their doings.  [11] Woe  unto the wicked!  it shall be ill  with him: for the reward  of his hands  shall be given  him.

What does Isaiah 3:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The faithful minority, however, would not simply get lost in the judgment of the unfaithful majority, but the Lord would remember them and send them good. Sin does bring its own wages ( Romans 6:23). Here the long-term blessing of the righteous contrasts with the short-term blasting of the unrighteous. There were these two groups among God"s chosen people then as there are now. The faithful frequently suffer along with the unfaithful, but their ultimate ends are very different (cf. Revelation 2:10-11).
