In Isaiah 3 because the leaders have led the people astray God is taking the leaders from the people. They will look to anyone for guidance but will find no one able.

The wealthy women have gone astray, being influenced by other religions. God will take their finery away from them. They will be left with nothing. The men will be killed and the women and children will be oppressed by their enemies.

Isaiah 4 speaks of a day with a man of the Lord will come and give them a new name. Their sins will be forgiven and God will create a new Mount Zion.

Isaiah 5 begins with a song from God regarding how he planted a vineyard (the people of Israel) but it yielded wild grapes (they sought other gods). It is now necessary to get rid of that vineyard to allow a new one to be planted. The people are being exiled because of their sin. They are being punished until they are humbled. Things will be bleak for a long time.

2 Timothy 1 begins with encouragement of Timothy to be bold in his testimony about the Lord. Paul speaks about the privilege of suffering for the faith because the grace of Christ has conquered death. We should all have that kind of boldness in our faith to be willing to suffer for the sake of spreading the Gospel. We are often afraid to speak just because we will be ridiculed. Given the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf we should be ashamed of ourselves for choosing self-preservation over proclaiming the good news.
