Childish Behavior
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Isaiah 3:5  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Isaiah reveals a society that can be aptly described as "upside down." Those who should be leading are not and those who should not are. A central factor in this is that the immature are leading. A free-wheeling, laissez faire, hedonistic, immoral, and irresponsible culture exists. Verses 5 and 12 confirm that family governance and leadership are greatly affected. John W. Ritenbaugh The Fifth Commandment (1997)

Isaiah 3:12  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The character of the princes and rulers are that of inexperienced children, unqualified for government. Oppressors is literally "exactors" or "taxers of money." Believing the well will never run dry, they tax oppressively to pay for their extravagant spending and their childish endeavors. Martin G. Collins The Century of the Child
