Isaiah 45-48

Isaiah
45.9  Woe to him who strives with his Maker!...  Kinda seems like a no brainer.
45.19  things that are right. ...  Seems like a good definition of righteousness.
45.23  Philippians 2.10-11
46.9-11  I really like these verses.
47.5  The Lady of Kingdoms...  
47.6  showed them no mercy;  On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily...  It is almost like God is saying, "I wanted you to punish them, but you went too far."
"This would happen to her, because at the time when Jehovah made use of her as His instrument for punishing His people, she went beyond the bounds of her authority, showing ho pity, and ill-treating even defenceless old men."    --Keil, Carl Friedrich & Delitzsch, Franz. "Commentary on Isaiah 47:5-7". http://new.studylight.org/com/kdo/view.cgi?bk=22&ch=47&vs=5-7. 1854-1889.
47.10  For you have trusted in your wickedness...  It is amazing that they trusted the very things that displeased God to keep them safe.  The heart is deceitful...
48.11  for My own sake, I will do it...   I guess that it's not all about me after all.
48.22  A great verse to memorize and have floating around in the back of our minds.
