Sort Isaiah’s words

The need, or the Lord’s answer?

Read Isaiah 29:4, 8–10, 13–14. Some phrases describe people without the Lord’s truth, as in the Great Apostasy. Others describe what the Lord would do. Decide where each belongs.

“he awaketh, and his soul is empty”
Isaiah 29:8

“shalt speak out of the ground … out of the dust”
Isaiah 29:4

“the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes”
Isaiah 29:10

“I will proceed to do a marvellous work … and a wonder”
Isaiah 29:14

“with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me”
Isaiah 29:13

Decide where each phrase belongs. You can change any answer.
