TSK · Isaiah 46:12

The bravehearted were plundered; they“fell asleep.” All the warriors were helpless.

The wicked have no chance for deliverance, for they do not seek your statutes.

The Appeal of Wisdom Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem Therefore, listen to the LORD’s message, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem!

Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.

The Lord Appeals to the Exiles Listen to this, O family of Jacob, you who are called by the name‘Israel,’ and are descended from Judah, who take oaths in the name of the LORD, and invoke the God of Israel– but not in an honest and just manner.

Honesty has disappeared; the one who tries to avoid evil is robbed. The LORD watches and is displeased, for there is no justice.

The Israelites turn justice into bitterness; they throw what is fair and right to the ground.

“But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.

“You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!

For everything made visible is light, and for this reason it says:“Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!”
