Introduction
Remption is glorious, but how does redemption happen?
“We sin our way into bondage”.
Actually we are in bondage and sin is our way.
Everyday we demonstrate that we deserve hell (God’s righteous judgment on sin)
In our passage we learn that redemption is accomplished by justice
“That’s where he wants to take us—through the conviction of sin into repentance, where we experience redemption “Raymond C. Ortlund
That’s where he wants to take us—through the conviction of sin into repentance, where we experience redemption “Raymond C. Ortlund .”

The Fall of the City (21-23)
When the word harlot is used we are reminded of the theme of Hosea - thus marriage
The word “harlot” is emphatic
The wife should emulate who she is betrothed too by
Deut
Psa
Deut 10:12-
What She Was
“full of justice” (if justice is seen as an administration of justic) - “judgment” KJV is correct - “By judgment we are to understand a condition in which the revealed will of God was positively realized”
“righteousness” - “s state which corresponds to a norm” i.e. the law that was in the ark was present in the city as it administered the civil laws
“lodged” - “dwelt” - the home of righteous administration - we can think of the high points in Israel’s history (David and especially Solomon”
What She is Now
“murderers” - one word - this is how the city can be characturized as a harlot -
she has departed from her God
she has departed from his law
she down plunders his people
The lodging place of righteousness is now the lodging place of murderers - The city were images of God dwelt is now a city were images of the advesary now dwells
We see here the unity of the covenant law - 1st table (harlotry) 2nd table (murder)
“Righteousness, that is, the carrying out of justice, dwelt here, that is, was in operation.
Now, however, there are murderers” Luther
Does Isaiah here simply present an ideal picture of Jerusalem’s past (Von Rad)?
We would answer this question in the negative.
We are not to understand the reign of David as one in which no unrighteousness is to be found.
Essentially, however, David was a man after God’s own heart and so a type of the coming Messiah.
In contrast with the present evil condition, the city, at that time, because of David’s basic devotion to God, could be called a city filled with righteousness.
The Future of the City (24-
The Just Retribution
What Happens
“get releif” = “gain one’s satisfaction” - judgement

Parallel with “avenge myself”
By Whom
Adonai
The recipients of the judgment are called “foe” & “enemies”.
God’s people (collective) have become not His people (lo ami)
Not being His people means being His ememies who rightly deserve his wrath
