Smooth Words


Isaiah 30:8-11 ESV
8 And now, go, write it before them on a tablet 
and inscribe it in a book, 
that it may be for the time to come 
as a witness forever. 
9 For they are a rebellious people, 
lying children, 
children unwilling to hear 
the instruction of the Lord; 
10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,” 
and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; 
speak to us smooth things, 
prophesy illusions, 
11 leave the way, turn aside from the path, 
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel. ” 

Isaiah speaks timeless words of man rejecting God. Smooth words that do not reflect the truth of God are as yesterday's newspaper blowing down the street.
