Isaiah 29-33

• Fall of Jerusalem into the hands of enemies (29:1-8)
• God closes Jerusalem's eyes (v9-10)
• Appears that even when Isaiah prophesies, no one will understand (v11-12) [certainly what I am thinking right now! :P]

And the Lord said: Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, 14 therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.

-- Isaiah 29:13-14

"You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
He did not make me;
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
He has no understanding?

-- Isaiah 29:16

• God speaks to those who do not follow God's plan (30:1), and those who do not consult him for directions (v2), and warns them of the consequences of going down the wrong path (v3-7)

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

-- Isaiah 30:18

• Consequences of those who do not rely on God but go for Egypt (Chapter 31)

• Is Isaiah prophesising Jesus? (32:1-4)
