Isaiah Chapter 6 When You Disregard What G-d Teach You Through His Servants — the Prophets

The Word Of Hashem

Not cherry picking sweet or sugar-coated words to please the many.

The majority chose to just ignore and do not care at all.

How does G-d sees you? Find out in this chapter.

“We Will Not Walk Nor Hearken”

I had compared the daughter of Zion to the beautiful and delicate woman.
6:2
… Behold, their ear is blocked and they are unable to listen! Behold, the word of Hashem has become an object of ridicule to them; they have no desire for it.
:10
For from their simplest to their greatest people, they all extort booty; from prophet to priest, all deal in falsehood.
:13
They relieved the [impending] disaster of My people by making light of it, saying, ‘Peace! Peace!’ But there is no peace.
:14
Thus said Hashem: Stand on the roads and see; ask about the various paths of history, which path is best, and walk on it and find solace for your soul. But they said, ‘We will not walk.’
:16
I appointed watchman over you [who warned], ‘Hearken to the sound of the shofar!’ But they said, ‘We will not hearken.’
:17
Listen, O Land: Behold, I am bringing evil upon this nation, the fruits of their schemes, for they did not hearken to My words or My teaching — they rejected it.
:19
… Your burnt-offerings do not find favor and your sacrifices are not pleasant to Me.
:20

1 Gather the sons of Benjamin from the midst of Jerusalem, and in Tekoa sound the shofar, and over Beth-hakerem raise a standard, for evil is visible from the north and a great calamity.
2 The comely and the delicate one have I destroyed, O daughter of Zion.
3 Shepherds and their flocks shall come to her, they have pitched tents around her, they feed bare, each one in his place.
4 Prepare war against her, arise and let us go up at noontime; woe is to us for the day has passed, for the shadows of evening are stretched out.
5 Arise and let us go up at night and let us destroy her palaces.
6 For so says the Lord of Hosts: Cut the trees and cast on Jerusalem a siege mound; that is the city whose sins have been visited upon her, everywhere there is oppression in its midst.
7 As a well lets its water flow, so has she let her evil flow; violence and spoil is heard therein before Me continually; sickness and wounds.
8 Be corrected, O Jerusalem, lest My soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land uninhabited.
9 So says the Lord of Hosts: They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel; return your hand as a vintager over the branches.
10 To whom shall I speak and warn that they shall hearken? Behold, their ear is clogged, and they cannot listen; behold, the word of the Lord was a disgrace to them, they desire it not.
11 Therefore, I am full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary of containing it, to pour it out upon the babes in the street and upon the assembly of young men together, for a man with a woman shall be seized, an old man with one full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned over to others, fields and wives together, for I will stretch out My hand over the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord.
13 For, from their smallest to their greatest, they all commit robbery, and from prophet to priest they all deal falsely.
14 And they healed the breach of My people easily, saying, “Peace, peace,” but there is no peace.
15 They shall be put to shame since they have committed abomination. Neither are they ashamed nor do they know to feel disgrace. They will, therefore, fall among the slain; at the time I have visited upon them, they will stumble, says the Lord.
16 So says the Lord: stand on the roads and see, and ask of the paths of old, which is the good way, and go on it, and find rest for your soul, and they said, “We will not go.”
17 And I have stationed lookouts over you. Hearken to the sound of the shofar, and they said, “We will not hearken.”
18 Therefore, hearken, O nations, and know, O congregation, what is within them.
19 Hearken, O earth, behold, I bring evil to this people, the fruit of their thoughts, for they did not hearken to My words, and they rejected My instruction.
20 Why do I need the frankincense that comes from Sheba, and the good cane from a distant country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasant to Me.
21 Therefore, so says the Lord: Behold, I give this people stumblingblocks, and both fathers and sons together shall stumble upon them, a neighbor and his companion, and they shall perish.
22 So says the Lord: Behold, a people is coming from the northland, and a great nation will be aroused from the ends of the earth.
23 They will grasp bow and spear, they are cruel and have no compassion; their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, equipped like a man for war, upon you, O daughter of Zion.
24 We have heard his report, our hands have become feeble, trouble has grasped us, and pain, as a woman in travail.
25 Go not forth into the field, and on the road do not go, for the enemy has a sword; there is fear all around.
26 O daughter of My people, gird yourself with sackcloth and roll in ashes; make yourself a mourning [as] for an only child, a bitter lamentation, for suddenly the plunderer will come upon us.
27 I have made you the strong one and the fortress of My people, and you shall know and test their way.
28 They are all extremely perverse, going tale bearing [like] copper and iron; they are all destructive.
29 The bellows is heated from the fire, the lead is consumed; in vain does the founder refine, and the wicked ones have not been separated.
30 Refuse silver have men called them, for the Lord has rejected them.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
