Isaiah 47

It took me only 4 minutes to read this chapter. Isaiah speaks to the people of Babylon decades before they comit their crimes. God will turn over his people, Judah, to them, but they will take it upon themselves to punish and humiliate. God's punishment was to seperate them from the land os promise; a kind of national time-out or grounding. The rulers of Babel will carry their punishment further. Therefore, God will turn their arrogance back upon themselves. God will humble those who humiliate. He will weaken those who depend on their own strength. Thses aspects of God's nature have never changed.
