They'll hear a voice telling them the right things to do. v. 22: This verse is obviously out of place chronologically. Its children are all caught by God's wrath, too. The people all suffer and die as a penalty for their sins, just as wine dries up when the vine that supplies it withers. It will have none of the other false things that it has been trying to lean on. His mouth was made like a sword, because of its ability to speak words that would destroy wickedness. So, says God, how deluded can you get, worshipping the wood you'd otherwise burn? Hezekiah is saying here. He had to put up with a lot of abuse—people spitting on him and pulling his beard—but he didn't give up. But he was right in recognizing that death ended his opportunity for earthly Instead of threatening people with wrath, God tells them to be comforted.

He Instead, Jesus brought life and immortality came to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). b. (List over. What would the lengthening of The LORD was ready to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of the LORD.". no more with the inhabitants of the world.". God responds to the questions and worries from the last chapter, saying that he wanted the people who weren't searching for him to find him—they just wouldn't look. People ignore him because he doesn't look particularly majestic. No infants will die shortly after birth, and even one hundred year old people will be considered youths. So, Isaiah spoke the Lord’s response: the Lord would grant Hezekiah 15 more years of life and He will deliver Jerusalem from the king of Assyria. (We can infer, from the flow of the text, that this dare is met by the sound of crickets.) More people are going to get brought into this covenant than the people who've already been gathered together. Even the smallest clan will grow into a nation. God himself will be like a garland or a crown on the remnant his people in that day, ornamenting them with righteousness. The righteous and devout end up getting destroyed—or at least, they seem to end up that way. This vision has come to Isaiah like a sealed letter that people who can and can't read won't be able to read—either because of the seal or because they're already illiterate.
