or Isaiah 35:6 (a) Israel has no song while they are scattered over the world, and are subject to the rule of other nations. Individuals have no song while they are oppressed with sin, and are servants of Satan. Then, when the Lord gives deliverance and salvation, the song begins in the heart, and the soul rejoices afresh.
Isaiah 53:7 (a) The Lord JESUS standing before His accusers would not reply to their accusations, for He was taking our place, He was our substitute. We were so very guilty that our substitute made no answer to His accusers. (See Acts 8:32).
Isaiah 56:10 (a) False leaders of GOD's people are described as dogs. They had no message for GOD's people; they were false prophets; they were wicked leaders; and they failed either to warn Israel, or to encourage, or to help them back to GOD.
Ezekiel 3:26 (a) The Spirit of GOD for bade the prophet to speak to the people. The silence of the prophet was due to the commandment of GOD, the Spirit, and not to any failure of his own. (See also Ezekiel 24:17-18, where GOD released his tongue; see also Ezekiel 33:22). Paul had a similar experience. (See Acts 16:7).
