Discovery BoxIsaiah 49:19 
Context49:19 Yes, your land lies in ruins;
it is desolate and devastated. 1
But now you will be too small to hold your residents,
and those who devoured you will be far away.
Isaiah 59:4
Context59:4 No one is concerned about justice; 2
no one sets forth his case truthfully.
They depend on false words 3 and tell lies;
they conceive of oppression 4
and give birth to sin.

Context59:13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;
we turned back from following our God.
We stir up 5 oppression and rebellion;
we tell lies we concocted in our minds. 6
