READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 5, Psalm 37:12-29

Isaiah 5.8-30
Six woes, covetousness (isa 5.8-10); drunkenness (5.11-17), carelessness 5.18-19; deception (5.20) ; pride (5.21), injustice (5.22-25)., followed by three judgements (9-10, 13-15, 24-25)

We see the rich defrauding the poor, people with alcholic problems. The Old Testament Law warned against drunkenness (Proverbs 20.1; 23.29-31; Habakkuk 2.15). This even happen today with people plagued with alcoholism, begin drinking as soon as they wake up until they go to sleep. This could also apply to drug addiction as well.

The third woe is carelessness, where people are flippant about their sins and the judgement of God on their lives. The fourth woe us deception, where they call evil good and good evil. We see this so common in today’s society, The fifth woe is pride where we think we are wise in our own eyes and clever in our own sight. The last woe is the injustice carried out in bribe taking, the judges, corrupt politicians. All of these woes recorded by Isaiah some 2700 years ago is STILL happening today. Let us fool ourselves, even Christians are guilty of some of these woes in our lives,.

In verse 26, He would summon the Assyrians and use them to chasten Israel and Judah. The Northern Kingdom would be destroyed (722 B.C.) and the Southern Kingdom, Judah would be devastated, be delivered and would itself go into captivity in 586 B.C. under the Babylonians..
