Isaiah 28

Isaiah 28:15:
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

The prophets of Israel played an important role in exposing the deceptions of their day and pointing God’s people to the truth. Today, we still need faithful men who are willing to counter the evil that comes from falsehood in all areas of life. “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight” (Proverbs 12:22).
The prophet Isaiah had much to say about falsehood and lying throughout his book of prophecy. He lived in a time when the truth of God’s Law was neglected, and many false prophets abounded in the land of Israel. These false prophets yielded to the wishes of the people who begged them to “prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits” (Isaiah 30:10).
Isaiah, a true prophet of God, called his generation “a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD” (Isaiah 30:9). In addressing the leaders of Israel, Isaiah charged them with saying “we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves” (Isaiah 28:15).
This “hiding under falsehood” characterizes not only ancient Israel, but also the godless society of our own generation. Our rulers, our media, and our public education system have taken refuge under a massive system of deception. Good has been called evil. Evil has been called good. God’s Word has become suspect, and critics of the Bible have an open platform to downplay the truth. We have left honoring the Creator and begun worshipping the creature. -Institute for Basic Life; Matters of Life & Death teaching series.

Isaiah 28:16:
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “ Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

The existentialist must make haste, he has only time, and not even time with meaning. He must make haste to establish a meaning and then to develop it, yet always knowing meaninglessness is ultimate. This reduced man and his attempts to establish meaning to more than a "futile passion," to use Sartres phrase. On the other hand, "he that believeth shall not make haste," because the totality of meaning surrounds him; his labor is never in vain in the Lord (I Cor 15L58), and the future does not depend on his labor, while requiring it as a service, but on the Lord.
In every age, the existentialist has concluded, "let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die." Such an attitude is a despair of time, a flight from responsibility and reality, and a destruction of hope. It stands in strong contrast to the sabbath rest with others, the sense of community in rejoicing before the Lord. In Deut 14:27-28 and elsewhere, the call is to eat, drink and be merry, for the Lord is God, and His sabbath rest is the gift of assured victory to man.

Isaiah 28:26:
His God instructs him and teaches him the right way.

Thomas Watson

"Give us this day our daily bread." The good things of this life are the gifts of God; he is the donor of all our blessings. "Give us." Not faith only—but food is the gift of God; not daily grace only is from God—but "daily bread." Every good thing comes from God. "Every good gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights." James 1:17. Wisdom is the gift of God. "His God instructs him to discretion." Isaiah 28:26. Riches are the gift of God. "I will give you riches." 2 Chron 1:12. Peace is the gift of God. "He makes peace in your borders." Psalm 147:14. Health, which is the cream of life, is the gift of God. "I will restore health unto you." Jer 30:17. Rain is the gift of God. "Who gives rain upon the earth." Job 5:10. All comes from God; he makes the grain to grow, and the herbs to flourish
