12Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
13I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
Focused Passage
Isaiah 46:12-13
The LORD Carries His People While Idols Must Be Carried
From the humiliation of Babylon’s gods, to the LORD’s lifelong care for Israel, to the exposure of idolatry’s irrationality, to the certainty of God’s declared purpose and near salvation.
