The term "woe" is often used by prophets to signal impending doom or divine displeasure. The "rebellious children" refers to the people of Judah, who are depicted as disobedient offspring. This imagery of God as a parent highlights the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where Israel is expected to obey and trust in God. The rebellion here is spiritual, as the people turn away from God's guidance.“to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine” The people of Judah are criticized for devising their own plans without seeking God's counsel. This reflects a lack of faith and trust in God's sovereignty and wisdom. Historically, this likely refers to Judah's political alliances, particularly with Egypt, as they sought security against the Assyrian threat. This action demonstrates a reliance on human strength rather than divine protection, which is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature.“who form an alliance, but against My will” The alliance mentioned here is likely with Egypt, as Judah sought military support against Assyria. This was contrary to God's will, as He desired His people to rely on Him rather than foreign powers. The forming of alliances with pagan nations often led to the adoption of their idolatrous practices, further distancing the people from God. This reflects a broader biblical theme where reliance on worldly powers is contrasted with faith in God.“heaping up sin upon sin.” This phrase indicates a compounding of transgressions, suggesting that the initial act of rebellion leads to further sin. The alliance with Egypt is not just a political misstep but a spiritual failure, as it represents a rejection of God's protection and guidance. This accumulation of sin underscores the seriousness of their rebellion and the inevitable consequences. The concept of sin building upon sin is echoed throughout scripture, emphasizing the need for repentance and return to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is speaking through the prophet Isaiah. 2. <a href="/topical/o/obstinate_children.htm">Obstinate Children</a> Refers to the people of Judah who are rebellious and refuse to follow God's guidance. 3. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> The prophet through whom God delivers His message to the people of Judah. 4. <a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a> The southern kingdom of Israel, facing threats from surrounding nations and seeking alliances contrary to God's will. 5. <a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a> The nation with whom Judah is seeking an alliance, representing reliance on human strength rather than divine guidance.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/r/rebellion_against_god's_plans.htm">Rebellion Against God’s Plans</a> The passage warns against making plans without seeking God's guidance.

The exact metaphor employed is uncertain, Mr. Cheyne renders, "that weave a web;" Dr. Kay, "that pour out a molten image."
