TSK · Isaiah 42:14

I will speak, so that I may find relief; I will open my lips, so that I may answer.

When you did these things, I was silent, so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you!

When a sentence is not executed at once against a crime, the human heart is encouraged to do evil.

Finally the LORD could no longer endure your wicked deeds and the disgusting things you did. That is why your land has become the desolate, uninhabited ruin that it is today. That is why it has become a proverbial example used in curses.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
