Commentary on Isaiah 29:14

Theological / Devotional

Wisdom of their wise men. When men leave God out of their reckoning their wisdom turns to folly. Not loving the light, they are left to walk in darkness (see 2 Thess. 2:12; cf. Hosea 4:6). This proved to be the experience of the Jewish leaders. They darkened counsel by “words without knowledge” (Job 38:2), and the light of the nation was doomed to go out in darkness.
