Bible Question: what is isaiah saying in 1:10 |
Bible Answer: Hello jerzeegyrl, Here is the verse: "Is 1:10- Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah." Isaiah is speaking to the rulers of Sodom and the people of Gomorrah. What follows in verses 11-31 describes what he is warning them about. The Bible Knowledge Commentary gives this insight: 1:10.- "Building on his reference to Sodom and Gomorrah in verse 9, Isaiah likened the rulers and people of Judah to those evil cities. Both the leaders and the populace-those in all levels of society-were to hear (cf. v. 2) God’s word." Matthew Henry offers this perspective: "Verses 10–15 Judea was desolate, and their cities burned. This awakened them to bring sacrifices and offerings, as if they would bribe God to remove the punishment, and give them leave to go on in their sin. Many who will readily part with their sacrifices, will not be persuaded to part with their sins. They relied on the mere form as a service deserving a reward. The most costly devotions of wicked people, without thorough reformation of heart and life, cannot be acceptable to God. He not only did not accept them, but he abhorred them. All this shows that sin is very hateful to God. If we allow ourselves in secret sin, or forbidden indulgences; if we reject the salvation of Christ, our very prayers will become abomination." I hope this will be of some help, BradK |
