Isa 57:3 | MHM | STEP | A Charge against the People In this section, God brings serious accusations against the sinful generation in Israel. The prophet calls the people to listen to the charges God has against them. These people are described as rebellious by nature and by choice. God is about to show how they have turned away from Him, mocked His word, and filled the land with idolatry and injustice. Even after many warnings and patient waiting, they refused to repent. v. 3 : God calls out to the people, saying, “Draw near, sons of the sorceress, offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.” This means they are acting like children of evil, both by their actions and by following the sins of their ancestors. Sin is compared to sorcery and adultery because it is unfaithfulness to God and a turning to evil powers instead of Him. God is saying, “You are children of rebellion and lies, not of faithfulness” .
