Isaiah 29:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

He saith, I am not learned. The unlearned succeed no better than the learned, not from want of human learning, as they fancy, but from not having the teaching of God (Isaiah 54:13; Jeremiah 31:34; John 6:45; 1 Corinthians 2:7-10; 1 John 2:20).

Isaiah 29:12

12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
