Isaiah 28 is a chapter in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. It begins with a condemnation of the northern kingdom of Israel, specifically the leaders and priests who have become drunk with excess and have strayed from God’s path. The prophet Isaiah delivers a message of judgment, warning them of the impending destruction and downfall of their nation.
The chapter then shifts its focus to the southern kingdom of Judah. Isaiah warns the people of Judah against following the same sinful path as Israel and emphasizes the importance of trusting in God for protection and guidance. The prophet uses vivid imagery, comparing their false security to a faulty foundation that will eventually crumble.
Isaiah concludes the chapter by offering a glimmer of hope, promising that God will provide a sure foundation in the form of a cornerstone, which is Jesus Christ. He urges the people to listen and understand this message, for it is the key to their salvation.
