"Therefore" & "because" are explanatory terms of His impending judgement.
See also Deut. 7:25, I Tim. 2:9, I Ptr. 3:3, Gen. 35:1-6, Ex., etc. just for starters....blessings! |
I guess I need to quote verse 16.
Isaiah 3:16 "Moreover, the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:"
Let's also take a look at verse 17.
Isaiah 3:17 "Therefore, the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts."
The verse 17 beginning with "therefore" clearly is talking about what those judgments would be. It is immediately after the verse 17 which introduces judgments (God smiting with a scab the crown of the head, and discovering their secret parts) that a list of various items appear, most of which I am ignorant to what are. In introducing the list of items, Verse 18, it begins "In that day the Lord will...". Surely, if in verse 16 it says "because" in an explanatory sense (we agree on something!! YAY!) and in verse 17 it describes some judgments, and in verse 18 it describes more of the Lord's actions (paraphrasing it says, in that day the Lord will...), surely those actions described are judgments and not explanatory of why the judgment is coming.
