Isaiah 23–28: Judgments & Wisdom
This also comes from Yahweh of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful
and His wisdom great.
Truth For The Heart
This also comes from Yahweh of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful
and His wisdom great.
“Were He to sweep by me,
I would not see Him;
Were He to move past me,
I would not perceive Him.
Were He to snatch away,
who could turn Him back?
Who could say to Him,
‘What are You doing?’”
But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
Not one promise of the good promises
which Yahweh had promised
to the house of Israel failed;
all came to pass.
Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh; and he looked down
toward Sodom and Gomorrah…
So then it does not depend
on the one who wills or the one who runs,
but on God who has mercy.
“But go and learn what this means:
‘I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,’
for I did not come to call the righteous,
but sinners.”
Well then, where are your wise men?
Please let them tell you,
And let them understand
what Yahweh of hosts
Has counseled against Egypt.
“Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?”
