71 Days of Isaiah Plan

⁹“Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; And listen, all remote places of the earth. Get ready, yet be shattered; Get ready, yet be shattered.

¹⁰Devise a plan, but it will fail; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us.”

¹¹For so the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

¹²“You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’ Regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

¹³It is the LORD of armies whom you are to regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.

¹⁴Then He will become a sanctuary; But to both houses of Israel, He will be a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁵Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will be snared and caught.”

¹⁶Bind up the testimony, seal the Law among my disciples.

¹⁷And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will wait eagerly for Him.

¹⁸Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of armies, who dwells on Mount Zion.

¹⁹When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead in behalf of the living?

²⁰To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak in accordance with this word, it is because they have no dawn.

²¹They will pass through the land dejected and hungry, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will become enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward.

²²Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness.
