Discovery Box| (1.00) | Isa 28:13 |
| So the Lord’s word to them will sound like meaningless gibberish, senseless babbling, a syllable here, a syllable there. 1 As a result, they will fall on their backsides when they try to walk, 2 and be injured, ensnared, and captured. 3 |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:14 |
| Therefore, listen to the Lord’s word, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem! 1 |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:15 |
| For you say, “We have made a treaty with death, with Sheol 1 we have made an agreement. 2 When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by 3 it will not reach us. For we have made a lie our refuge, we have hidden ourselves in a deceitful word.” 4 |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:17 |
| I will make justice the measuring line, fairness the plumb line; hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, 1 the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place. |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:18 |
| Your treaty with death will be dissolved; 1 your agreement 2 with Sheol will not last. 3 When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by, 4 you will be overrun by it. 5 |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:21 |

| Pay attention and listen to my message! 1 Be attentive and listen to what I have to say! 2 |
| (1.00) | Isa 28:29 |

| (1.00) | Isa 29:3 |
| I will lay siege to you on all sides; 1 I will besiege you with troops; 2 I will raise siege works against you. |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:4 |
| You will fall; while lying on the ground 1 you will speak; from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard. 2 Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld; 3 from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation. 4 |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:11 |
| To you this entire prophetic revelation 1 is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read 2 and say, “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t, because it is sealed.” |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:13 |
| The sovereign master 1 says, “These people say they are loyal to me; 2 they say wonderful things about me, 3 but they are not really loyal to me. 4 Their worship consists of nothing but man-made ritual. 5 |

| Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people – an absolutely extraordinary deed. 1 Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations.” 2 |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:15 |
| Those who try to hide their plans from the Lord are as good as dead, 1 who do their work in secret and boast, 2 “Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?” 3 |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:16 |
| Your thinking is perverse! 1 Should the potter be regarded as clay? 2 Should the thing made say 3 about its maker, “He didn’t make me”? Or should the pottery say about the potter, “He doesn’t understand”? |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:18 |
| At that time 1 the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll, and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness. 2 |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:21 |
| those who bear false testimony against a person, 1 who entrap the one who arbitrates at the city gate 2 and deprive the innocent of justice by making false charges. 3 |
| (1.00) | Isa 29:23 |
| For when they see their children, whom I will produce among them, 1 they will honor 2 my name. They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; 3 they will respect 4 the God of Israel. |
| (1.00) | Isa 30:6 |
| This is a message 1 about the animals in the Negev: Through a land of distress and danger, inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, 2 by snakes and darting adders, 3 they transport 4 their wealth on the backs of donkeys, their riches on the humps of camels, to a nation that cannot help them. 5 |
