Isaiah 46:5-13 – The Comparison

Look around and compare – there is none like Jehovah. Open your eyes and hearts to Him (v.5)!

Verses 6-7 describe the different idols. Much of this is like what was said in verses 1-2. Notice how much effort and resources idolaters waste then and now. The idols do nothing – useful or otherwise.

The true God shines forth in verses 8-13 – give heed! He has been tested by His past doings – verses 8-9. Can He not, will He not work now? He shows His will is sovereign and effective in verses 10-11. He shows this especially in bringing righteousness in Christ to many in all the nations (verses 12-13).
