ISAIAH


Chapters 10-31

Isaiah 10:13 The King of Assyria is forewarned by God for his stealing of the Israelite treasures.

Isaiah 13 refers to the silver and gold as pertaining to the people of the Medes.
Isaiah 28:5 describes the Lord's return with a diadem or jeweled head adornment or what we typically refer to as a crown. Verse 16 of that same chapter tells us that Israel is the cornerstone or foundation of God's plan. The foundation is a precious cornerstone.

Isaiah 30:6 is a reference back to the days Israel was in bondage in Egypt. As they left the country they carried treasures and riches from the women which became part of their wardrobe. Obviously not all treasures and riches were precious stones because the Bible does not specify exactly what was taken but certainly some of the items were fine jewels. Verse 22 mentions silver and gold as being used to cover idols. Isaiah 31:7 again states that the idols of gold and silver would be destroyed.
