After reading through Jeremiah and chapter five of Isaiah's prophetic word I can't help but thank Jesus for being so merciful with an ol' sorry joker like myself.
In Isaiah 5, He mentions seven (7) WOES between verses 8-22, and man how descriptive they are.
Each WOE is revealing the results, or we can say the consequences of what happens, when the heart of men REJECT and DESPISE the Word of God (v24). The mouth may utter great things that sound cleaver and appeal to the nature of men but be far from the truth and filled with pride and polluted lies (vv.18-19).
Our actions will eventually reveal our heart and what we believe... and when a society would rather run to the BOTTLE and not the BOOK it's in the "WOE" factor of God. And when it glorifies drinking, more than it does a gracious and merciful God, it's in the "WOE" factor of God (vv.11-12,20-23).
When it has more laws that protect the trees, turtles and terrorist than it does babies in a womb, calling evil good and good evil, it's in the "WOE" factor of God (v.20).
When it opens the flood gates of moral decay, and greases the road to the grave with tolerance and lawlessness, Sheol welcomes the outpouring of souls with open arms, it's in the "WOE" factor of God (vv.13-14).
When it demands God to do what it wants and to draw near to it and not the other way around, it's in the "WOE" factor of God (vv. 18-19).
