📚 Historical Context
Isaiah was a prophet in ancient Judah during the 8th century BC, speaking to a people who had repeatedly turned away from God through idolatry and disobedience. In Isaiah 65, God declares His intention to judge the unfaithful, emphasizing that their sins are recorded and will be addressed, as part of a larger prophetic message about divine justice and the coming restoration for the faithful. This verse fits into the broader biblical narrative of God's covenant relationship with Israel, where warnings of judgment serve to call people back to faithfulness.
