TSK · Isaiah 5:24

So the people spread out through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.

The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust; it will come down on you from the sky until you are destroyed.

Samuel said to Saul,“I will not go back with you, for you have rejected the LORD’s orders, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel!”

But they did not pay attention and were as stubborn as their ancestors, who had not trusted the LORD their God.

It wraps its roots around a heap of stones and it looks for a place among stones.

For you hate instruction and reject my words.

So the LORD cut off Israel’s head and tail, both the shoots and stalk in one day.

For these are rebellious people– they are lying children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s law.

Look, they are like straw, which the fire burns up; they cannot rescue themselves from the heat of the flames. There are no coals to warm them, no firelight to enjoy.

Your wise men will be put to shame. They will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment. Since they have rejected the LORD’s message, what wisdom do they really have?

The Curse of the Incurable Wound I will be like a moth to Ephraim, like wood rot to the house of Judah.

They sound like chariots rumbling over mountain tops, like the crackling of blazing fire consuming stubble, like the noise of a mighty army being drawn up for battle.

For Israel’s sake I destroyed the Amorites. They were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks, but I destroyed the fruit on their branches and their roots in the ground.

(3:19)“For indeed the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.“It will not leave them even a root or branch.

His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire.”

“The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

‘Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish! For I am doing a work in your days, a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.’”

Consequently the one who rejects this is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
