Verses 11-15
Isaiah 47:11-15
I. Look at this picture of utter and most painful bewilderment. It is the necessary and inevitable result of sin.
II. Hear the Divine challenge addressed to the false powers in which we have trusted.
III. See the doom of false securities. (1) We cannot escape the trial of our securities. (2) If we set ourselves against God, we challenge all the forces of His creation.
