- Read 42:14-25. What did the LORD do after long silent patience? (14-16) How did Israel responded? (17-20) How did the LORD deal with them? (21-25)
- Read 43:1-13. Now, how does the LORD’s attitude dramatically change toward Israel after the Babylonian training? (1-7) Why did the LORD choose Israel? (8-13) What should they witness to?
- Read 43:14-28. Why did the LORD send Israel to Babylon? (14,15) What does the new thing refer to (16-21)? What are their problems (22-28)?
