God controls the future

Isaiah Chapter s 21 to 30

Chapter 26

A song to praise God

v1 At that time all the people in Judah will sing this song: Our city is strong. God has established its inner walls and its outer walls. But the *Lord himself is our real protection. v2 Open wide the gates of the city to let in the nation that deals fairly. Let in the honourable nation that remains loyal to God. v3 *Lord, you maintain (keep) a quiet heart in those whose purpose is firm. Their confidence is in you. v4 My people, always maintain your firm confidence in the *Lord. The *Lord is like a permanent rock.

v5 The *Lord brought low the proud people who occupied high places. He completely destroyed the strong city where they lived. He turned the city walls into dust. v6 Poor people had suffered from the actions of proud people. Now the feet of the poor people can freely step heavily upon what remains of the city.
