In this chapter we have,
I. The sins with which the people of Israel are charged-covetousness and oppression, fraudulent and violent practices (v. 1, 2), dealing barbarously, even with women and children, and other harmless people (v. 8, 9). Opposition of God's prophets and silencing them (v. 6, 7), and delighting in false prophets (v. 11).
II. The judgments with which they are threatened for those sins, that they should be humbled, and impoverished (v. 3-5), and banished (v. 10).
III. Gracious promises of comfort, reserved for the good people among them, in the Messiah (v. 12, 13).
And this is the sum and scope of most of the chapters of this and other prophecies.
