'The Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice'

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks,who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.They have harps and lyres at their banquets, pipes and tambourines and wine,but they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord, no respect for the work of his hands.Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding;those of high rank will die of hunger and the common people will be parched with thirst.Therefore Death expands its jaws, opening wide its mouth;into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revellers.So people will be brought low and everyone humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled.But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich.”Isaiah 5:11-17The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
