With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Who did God ask for advice? Who taught Him what to do? Who instructed Him about justice, gave Him knowledge, or showed Him how to understand things?

📚 Historical Context
Isaiah wrote this during a time when the people of Israel were facing exile and questioning God's power and wisdom. The surrounding nations had their own gods and counselors, but Isaiah is reminding his people that the true God needs no advisors or teachers. This passage comes from what scholars call 'Second Isaiah,' likely written during or near the Babylonian exile to comfort and reassure God's people.
