THE MESSAGE
God enters the courtroom. He takes his place at the bench to judge his people. God calls for order in the court, hauls the leaders of his people into the dock: "You've played havoc with this country. Your houses are stuffed with what you've stolen from the poor. What is this anyway? Stomping on my people, grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?" That's what the Master, God -of-the-Angel-Armies, says.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
The LORD arises to contend, And stands to judge the people.

Contextual Overview

9 The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them. 10 Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings. 11 Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 12 As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps. 13 The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people. 14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house. 15 Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord standeth up to plead,.... His own cause, or the cause of his son against the Jews that rejected him, and the Scribes and Pharisees that led them to an ill opinion of him:

and standeth to judge the people. Both expressions show indignation and resentment; he rises up out of his place, and stands up in defence of his cause, and avenges himself on a wicked and ungrateful people: it seems to have reference to the judgments of God on the people of the Jews, the tribes of Israel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Lord standeth up - To “stand up” may mean the same as to “arise.” God would not sit in silence and see their wicked conduct; but he would come forth to inflict on them exemplary and deserved chastisement.

To plead - To “litigate,” to contend with, that is, to condemn, to inflict punishment.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 3:13. The people - "His people"] עמו ammo, Septuagint.
