Isa 29:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21 : Persecutors and scorners who mocked God’s people will be removed. Not only will foreign enemies be defeated, but also those who mocked and persecuted believers at home. These people tried to make the prophets look bad, watched for any mistake, and used small errors to accuse them. They hated those who corrected them and tried to trap them, just like people did to Jesus (Matthew 22:15 ). They twisted justice and made honest people look guilty. But God promises to protect His people and punish the scorners. The disciple is not greater than his Master , so Jesus’ followers can expect the same treatment, but they should trust God to bring justice.

‏ Isaiah 29:21

v. 21: Persecutors and scorners who mocked God’s people will be removed. Not only will foreign enemies be defeated, but also those who mocked and persecuted believers at home. These people tried to make the prophets look bad, watched for any mistake, and used small errors to accuse them. They hated those who corrected them and tried to trap them, just like people did to Jesus (Matthew 22:15 ^a). They twisted justice and made honest people look guilty. But God promises to protect His people and punish the scorners. The disciple is not greater than his Master, so Jesus’ followers can expect the same treatment, but they should trust God to bring justice.
