Yesaya 5:25
Konteks5:25 So the Lord is furious 1 with his people;
he lifts 2 his hand and strikes them.
The mountains shake,
and corpses lie like manure 3 in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again. 4
Yesaya 41:7
Konteks41:7 The craftsman encourages the metalsmith,
the one who wields the hammer encourages 5 the one who pounds on the anvil.
He approves the quality of the welding, 6
and nails it down so it won’t fall over.”
Yesaya 46:7
Konteks46:7 They put it on their shoulder and carry it;
they put it in its place and it just stands there;
it does not 7 move from its place.
Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply;
it does not deliver him from his distress.
Yesaya 49:22
Konteks49:22 This is what the sovereign Lord says:
“Look I will raise my hand to the nations;
I will raise my signal flag to the peoples.
They will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
