What does Isaiah 28:6 mean?

At the time the Lord sets up His kingdom on earth, He will be a spirit of justice to Israel's leaders who sit in judgment. He will ensure that the poor are not taken advantage of (Isaiah 11:4; Proverbs 29:7). He will also empower the soldiers who defend the city. Israel tried to stand and thrive without the Lord. The remnant, those who will turn and put their trust in Him, will thrive because of Him.
