“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
The assertion of divine clarity—'I did not speak in secret, in a place of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in chaos." I Yahweh speak the truth, I declare what is right'—contrasts God's clear, public proclamation with false oracles' obscurity. The refusal to speak in darkness or chaos suggests that God's word is intelligible and coherent. The assertion of truth-speaking and right-declaring emphasizes that prophecy conveys reliable information. This verse validates the Second Isaiah prophecies as clear and truthful.
