Isaiah 17

What happens to people who know God but live like they have forgotten him? Israel was in that position. We have the record of the events that unfolded in Samaria when God responded to their forgetfulness. Isaiah said that their riches would be lost. And their population decimated. That may not sound bad because of the time and distance that separate us from them but I believe to live through such great terror would be awful. But God still promised that a remnant would survive.
