Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Monday Devotional
Song
When He Comes Again (Children’s #82)
Scripture
Discussion
- One of the things the Lord asks prophets to do is to warn about the consequences of sin. In the case of Old Testament prophets, this often meant telling the powerful rulers of mighty kingdoms that they must repent or be destroyed. It was a dangerous task, but Isaiah was fearless, and his warnings to the kingdoms of his day—including Israel, Judah, and surrounding nations—were bold
- Isaiah 13–14 is called “the burden of” (a prophetic message about) Babylon (Isaiah 13:1). Once a mighty kingdom with a powerful ruler, Babylon is now considered ancient history. So why is the message to Babylon important to us today? In the scriptures, Babylon symbolizes pride, worldliness, and sin, and today we are surrounded by all of these.
- How are Isaiah’s warnings to Babylon similar to prophecies about the world prior to the Savior’s Second Coming? (see Isaiah 13:1–11; Doctrine and Covenants 45:26–42).

Discussion
- To warn about the consequences of turning away from the Lord and rejecting His prophets, Isaiah used a variety of metaphors.

Song
The Golden Plates (Children’s #86)
Scripture
Discussion
- When people or societies turn away from the Lord, Satan wants us to think that the consequences are irreversible.
- However, Isaiah described some of the marvelous things the Lord will do when people repent and turn to Him.
- What do we learn about His love in these verses?
- One way the Lord has manifested His power in our day is through the Restoration of His gospel. Isaiah 29 contains several passages that have parallels to events of that Restoration.
- Compare Isaiah 29:11–12 with 2 Nephi 27:6–26 and Joseph Smith—History 1:63–65.
- Compare Isaiah 29:13–14 with Doctrine and Covenants 4 and Joseph Smith—History 1:17–19.
- Compare Isaiah 29:18–24 with the title page of the Book of Mormon.
