Yesaya 29:13
Konteks29:13 The sovereign master 1 says,
“These people say they are loyal to me; 2
they say wonderful things about me, 3
but they are not really loyal to me. 4
Their worship consists of
nothing but man-made ritual. 5
Yesaya 47:13
Konteks47:13 You are tired out from listening to so much advice. 6
Let them take their stand –
the ones who see omens in the sky,
who gaze at the stars,
who make monthly predictions –
let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you! 7
Yesaya 56:7
Konteks56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;
I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. 8
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,
for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” 9

[29:13] 3 tn Heb “and with their lips they honor me.”

[47:13] 6 tn Heb “you are tired because of the abundance of your advice.”
