  • Isaiah 48:12–19

Read Isaiah 48:14 with 48:12–19. By itself, “All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, historical horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: The first and last creator summons heaven and earth, identifies the loved agent against Babylon, includes a sent speaker and Spirit, and laments the lost peace of ignored commandments.
