Commentary on Isaiah 3:15
The rhetorical question 'What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor?' employs violent imagery for economic exploitation. 'Grinding faces' suggests crushing, dehumanizing treatment. The possessive 'my people' emphasizes that oppressing the poor violates God's ownership and care for His covenant community. This reflects the principle that mistreatment of the vulnerable constitutes offense against God Himself (Proverbs 14:31; Matthew 25:40), anticipating Jesus' identification with 'the least of these.'
