Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
Isaiah states a direct contrast: if the people are willing and obedient, they will “eat the good of the land,” but if they refuse and rebel, they will be “devoured by the sword” (Isaiah 1:19-20). The passage presents these as stated outcomes tied to response.
19If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
20but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
