Isaiah 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:20

But if ye refuse and rebel
The Targum is, "and do not receive my Word"; the Messiah, when come, neither his person, nor his doctrines and ordinances: ye shall be devoured with the sword;
of the Roman armies, as they were under Titus Vespasian; see ( Matthew 22:7 ) ( Luke 19:44 ) for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken [it];
now, by Isaiah, as well as in former times, ( Leviticus 26:25 Leviticus 26:33 ) .

Isaiah 1:20 In-Context

18 "Come. Sit down. Let's argue this out." This is God's Message: "If your sins are blood-red, they'll be snow-white. If they're red like crimson, they'll be like wool.
19 If you'll willingly obey, you'll feast like kings.
20 But if you're willful and stubborn, you'll die like dogs." That's right. God says so. Those Who Walk Out on God
21 Oh! Can you believe it? The chaste city has become a whore! She was once all justice, everyone living as good neighbors, And now they're all at one another's throats.
22 Your coins are all counterfeits. Your wine is watered down.
