Isaiah 1:18

God began speaking through Isaiah during the reign of King Uzziah. This King started out very well. He was faithful to the Lord, and the Lord helped him. He did many great things for his people, and became famous far and wide. Even with a godly king, the people were not faithful to God (2 Chronicles 27:2). The prophet Isaiah spoke boldly against the wicked ways of God’s people. He said the people rebelled against the Lord. They gave offerings that were meaningless because they didn’t even care when they sinned. They lied and murdered. Their land was full of idols; they worshipped things they made with their own hands. Isaiah warned that punishment was coming for the people’s wicked deeds
