Questions
- vv. 12-16: If vv. 9-11 are Israel’s prayer for deliverance, these verses are the answer to the prayer. How are that prayer and this answer relevant to the Nephites? To us?
- v. 12: The word translated “comfort” in Isaiah (v. 12) originally meant “strengthen” as well as “soothe.” Does that change your understanding of the verse?
- v.13: Why is it important in this context to remind Israel that the Lord is the Creator? (Verse 13 describes the man at the end of verse 12 “who shall die” and “who shall be made like unto grass.”)
- v. 14: What is the contrast between the pit mentioned in v. 14 and that of v. 1?
- v. 15: Here we see that the Lord has power over all nature. How does this compare to the power feared by those who have forgotten him?
