Keep in Expectation of Jehovah, Chapter Twenty-Three

IN ISAIAH chapter 30, we read further divine pronouncements against the wicked.  Nevertheless, this part of Isaiah's prophecy highlights some of Jehovah's heart-warming qualities.  In fact, Jehovah's characteristics are described  in such vivid terms that we can, as it were, see his comforting presence, hear his guiding voice, and feel his healing touch. -Isaiah 30"20, 21, 26.

Even so, Isaiah's countrymen, the apostate inhabitants of Judah, refuse to return to Jehovah.  Instead, they put their trust in man.  How does Jehovah feel about this?  And how does this part of Isaiah's prophecy help Christians today to keep in expectation of Jehovah?  (Isaiah 30:18)  Let us find out.
