Questions
- vv. 21-23: Here we see that the oppressors will become the oppressed. Who are the oppressors? Who will oppress them? How?
- vv. 21-23: If those the Lord is addressing are drunk with something other than wine (v. 21), what is it? (See v. 22 for some hints.)
- v. 24: Notice that the first part of this verse is a repetition of the first part of v. 9. Who was speaking there? Who is speaking here? The prophet? The Lord? Israel?
- v. 24: Who are the uncircumcised and unclean?
- v. 25: What dust is Israel to shake off of itself? Does referring back to v. 23 give you any ideas? What would shaking the dust off be a symbol of? Does this reference help us understand references such as D&C 24:15; 60:15; and 75:20 (as well as Matt 10:14; Mark 6:11; Luke 9:5; Acts 13:51)?
- Has Jacob used the chapters from Isaiah the way we might expect him to use them? We take them to be prophecies of Christ’s coming. How does he use them?
