Egyptians evidently understood the use of solder, for the Hebrews obtained their knowledge of such things from them, and in Isaiah xli. 7, occurs the passage: "So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, 'It is ready for the soldering." In the Bible there are constant references to such arts in metal work as prevail in our own times: "Of beaten work made he the candlesticks," Exodus.
You remember the old psalm, 'With Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light'; and what David and John after him called life, Isaiah and Paul after him calls salvation.
John, who thought in Hebrew, though he wrote in Greek, favours our common version, 'flesh and not spirit': but the place in which this passage stands, namely, in one of the first forty chapters of Isaiah, and therefore written long before the Captivity, together with the majestic simplicity characteristic of Isaiah's name gives perhaps a greater probability to the other: 'Egypt is man, and not God; and her horses flesh, and not wind'.

"I'm so upsot ever since I looked into that kitchen and see the poor soul down on the floor there that that all I'm sure of is that I ain't sure of nothin." "Well, I don't know's I blame you much, Isaiah," grunted the Captain. "Anyway, it doesn't make much difference about that letter, so fur as I see, whether there was one or not.

In Isaiah xliv. 25 "God maketh the diviners mad." In Ezekiel xiii. 3 "Woe to the foolish prophets." Hosea ix. 7 "The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad." And Isaiah xxviii. 7 explains fully how this madness was produced. Hieronymus and Aben Ezra imagine that it was of the nature of strong beer.
That obedience becomes ours by faith, which leads to love, and love to the glad obedience of sons. 'I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting. ISAIAH l. 6. Such words are not to be dealt with coldly. Unless they be grasped by the heart they are not grasped at all.
"They are sweet. They would be excellent to roast in the woods." "I never heard of a potato being sweet," said Isaiah. "Yes," said Marco. "They have plenty of them in New York." "Then why don't they call them New York potatoes?" asked Isaiah. "Why, I believe they came from Carolina first," said Marco. "And now I want a long stick for a toaster."
"Autumn Leaves from the Tree of Life." The verses were selected with great taste and care, and the little ones did their part well. The following are some of those selected: Exodus xxvi, 16. Leviticus xxii, 10. Psalms l, 19; cxlv, 14; cxxxvi, 1, 25. Isaiah lv, 10. 1 Corinthians x, 26. Hebrews xiii, 2. Revelations xix, 5.
But the lesson had been from Isaiah, where the unreasonable old prophet is indignant with the ladies of Zion because they don't want to look like dowdies, you remember: 'Tremble, ye women that are at ease, strip you and make you bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins. And off he went like a comet, with the fashionable woman for his tail.
