Isaiah, 29

16. This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.

Verses related to Isaiah, 29:

Isaiah chapter 29 begins with a warning against Jerusalem, which is described as a city surrounded and oppressed, but does not realize its condition of spiritual blindness. From there, the prophet talks about the restoration of the city and the people, promising a time of redemption and renewal. The verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 29 are:

Jeremiah 5:21: "I heard this now, O foolish people and without understanding, that you have eyes and not see, that you have heard and not heard." Just as Isaiah warned Jerusalem about his spiritual blindness, Jeremiah also talks about the foolishness of the people who cannot see or hear the truth.

Ezekiel 36:26: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will take from you the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Just as Isaiah talks about the restoration of Jerusalem and the people, Ezekiel also promises a renewal of the heart and spirit.

Joel 2:28-29: "And it must be, then I will pour out my Spirit upon all the flesh, and your children and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, your young people will have visions. and on the servants in those days I will pour out my spirit. " Isaiah talks about a time of renewal and restoration, and Joel also prophesies about the effusion of the Spirit of God upon all the people.

Psalm 126:1-3: "When the Lord brought from captivity those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouths filled with laughter and our language of songs; then it said among the Gentiles: Great things The Lord made these. Great things made the Lord for us; so we are happy. " This psalm talks about the return of Babylonian exile and the joy that the people experienced. Isaiah also talks about the restoration and renewal of Jerusalem and the people.

Revelation 21:5: "And he who was sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And I said to me, Write; for these words are true and faithful." Just as Isaiah talks about the restoration and renewal of Jerusalem, Revelation talks about the New Jerusalem and the renewal of all things.
