Isaiah 3:1-4
"For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them."
"Solomon had written, “Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child!” Ecclesiastes 10:16 . Thus it was with the land of Judah. Through continued transgression her rulers had become as children. Isaiah called the attention of the people to the weakness of their position among the nations of earth, and he showed that this was the result of wickedness in high places. “Behold,” he said, “the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.” “For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord.” Isaiah 3:1-4, 8 . PK 323.2"
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 3:1-4 in this passage.
Isaiah 3:10
"Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings."
"“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him.... Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.” Isaiah 3:10, 11 . Ed 146.4"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:10.
Isaiah 3:11
"Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him."
"“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him.... Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.” Isaiah 3:10, 11 . Ed 146.4"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:11.
Isaiah 3:12
"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."
"glorifying of self, and their eager desire for popularity all testify that they have not obeyed His voice. “As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.” 5T 88.1"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:12.
"“They which lead thee,” the prophet continued, “cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Verse 12 . During the reign of Ahaz this was literally true; for of him it is written: “He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom;” “yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 28:2, 3 ; 2 Kings 16:3 . PK 324.1"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:12.
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:"
"With oppression and wealth came pride and love of display, gross drunkenness, and a spirit of revelry. See Isaiah 2:11, 12 ; 3:16, 18-23 ; Isaiah 5:22, 11, 12 . And in Isaiah's day idolatry itself no longer provoked surprise. See Isaiah 2:8, 9 . Iniquitous practices had become so prevalent among all classes that the few who remained true to God were often tempted to lose heart and to give way to discouragement and despair. It seemed as if God's purpose for Israel were about to fail and that the rebellious nation was to suffer a fate similar to that of Sodom and Gomorrah. PK 306.2"
The EGW passage directly references Isaiah 3:16 and discusses similar themes of pride and display among the daughters of Zion.
Isaiah 3:25
"Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war."
"The prophecy of Isaiah 3 was presented before me as applying to these last days, and the reproofs are given to the daughters of Zion who have thought only of appearance and display. Read verse 25 : “Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.” I was shown that this scripture will be strictly fulfilled. Young men and women professing to be Christians, yet having no Christian experience, and having borne no burdens and felt no individual responsibility, are to be proved. They will be brought low in the dust and will long for an experience in the things of God, which they have failed to obtain. 1T 270.1"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:25 and states that it will be strictly fulfilled, making this a clear and explicit allusion.
