Guiding Questions: Isaiah 57

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What is the destiny of the righteous person — in life and subsequently?
Who are those born of transgression and a generation of liars?
What is the essential transgression as set forth in Isaiah 57:5?
Where do the worshipers find their “place of worship”?
What is the blindness and stubbornness reflected in Isaiah 57:10?
In Isaiah 57:11, who is the “me you have not remembered and not taken to heart (mind)”?
Who speaks in Isaiah 57:15-16?
Is the message in these verses one of redemption or one of moral instruction?
What is the destiny of the evil doers (Isaiah 57:20)?
And, in Isaiah 57:21, where has this precise refrain been encountered before in the Isaiah text?
Would the utilization of this (and related) terminology indicate that the prophet (Isaiah III) was familiar with the message of the “prophet of the exile” (Isaiah II)?
