Isaiah 3:6-7. When a man, &c.— In these verses the description of the confused state of the nation, mentioned in the fifth verse, is continued under an elegant figure, whereby the government, which otherwise is anxiously sought after, is refused by a person to whom it is offered. I have neither clothing nor bread, means, that he had not what was sufficient for sustaining the dignity and the expence of government. See chap. Isaiah 22:21.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 3:1-15

The dearth of leadership 3:1-15The emphasis in this pericope is on the lack of qualified leaders and the consequent collapse of society that would result because God’s people put their trust in people rather than in Him. The name "the Lord [sovereign] God of Hosts [the Almighty]" forms an inclusio around this section (Isaiah 3:1; Isaiah 3:15)."To make great men the source of a nation’s greatness is always to end up with a dearth of great men. Unless the greatness comes from within the community... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 3:6-7

Things would become so bad that the possession of a mere coat (an outer garment) would lead others to thrust its owner into leadership despite his protestations.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 3:6-7

(6, 7) When a man shall take hold of his brother . . .—Disorder was followed by destitution. The elder brother, the impoverished owner of the ruined dwelling, the head of a family or village, turns in his rags to the younger, whose decent garments seem to indicate comparative wealth, and would fain transfer to him the responsibilities of the first-born, though he has but a ruined tenement to give him. And instead of accepting what most men would have coveted (Genesis 25:31-33), the younger... read more
