Isaiah chapter 28 deals with the fall of Ephraim and the pride of Judah. God warns about the destruction that will come about those who trust in their own wisdom and strength rather than trust in the Lord. It is also emphasized the importance of listening and learning the Word of God. Below are five verses related to the themes of this chapter:
Proverbs 16:18: "Superb precedes ruin, and the haughtiness of the Spirit precedes the fall." This verse emphasizes the message that those who trust their own wisdom and power are destined to fall.
Jeremiah 9:23-24: "Thus says the Lord, Do not glorie the wise in His wisdom, nor the strong in His strength, nor the rich in His riches. Know me, for I am the Lord who has exercised kindness, judgment, and justice on earth; for these things I like, say the Lord. " This verse highlights the importance of trusting in the Lord and knowing his word, rather than boast of wisdom, strength or wealth.
Proverbs 1:7: "The fear of the Lord is the principle of knowledge, but the foolishness despises wisdom and discipline." This verse points out that those who disregard God's Word and Wisdom are destined to suffer the consequences.
Psalm 119:105: "Lamp for my feet is your word, and light to my way." This verse emphasizes the importance of following God's Word as a light to guide our steps.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29: "On the contrary, God has chosen the crazy things of the world to embarrass the wise, and chose the weak things of the world to embarrass the strong; and God chose the humble things of the world, and the despised, and and the despised things, and Those who are not, to reduce those who are; so that no one will boast in the presence of God. " This verse points out that pride and boasting are useless before God, who uses weak and humble things to fulfill his purposes.
