Because of the footnotes I put with Psalm 78 of Bear’s Prayers I am posting this:

56 Yet they tempted, provoked and rebelled against the Most High and kept not His testimonies. [1]57 But they turned back and dealt covertly and fraudulently like their fathers; they were twisted like a warped and deceitful bow that will not respond[2] to the archer’s aim[3]; they let down and relaxed their hands. 58 For they provoked Him to righteous anger with their high places for idol worship and provoked Him to jealous anger with their graven images.[4]

Jahuwah spoke to me, “Swine’s flesh is in their teeth. Look it up.” When I looked it up I ended up at Isaiah 65. I broke Isaiah 65 down using lexical aids to look up all the words in the Hebrew. When I put the chapter back together incorporating what I learned I came up with what is in the footnotes below. I also learned from Isaiah 65 what a grievous error it is to call the Creator God.

[2] In Isaiah 65:2 Jahuwah says, “I have spread out my strength, power, and signs today, yesterday and tomorrow unto a stubborn people which shake my yoke from their shoulders and turn a deaf ear unto me, which live a manner of life in a manner or path that is not pleasing, pleasant, agreeable, excellent, or becoming; a way that is of no practical or economic good after their own thoughts, imaginations, devices, plans, purposes, or inventions;” This sounds like “not responding” to me. Isaiah 65: 10-12 tell more about those who do respond as opposed to those who do not, “And Sharon, the flat place, shall be an abode or habitation of my sheep, and the open country of trouble or disturbance shall be a peaceful place for my flock to rest and dwell in [This is available to those who are lead of Jahuwah. Revelation 14:4, "These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes."], for my mothers, brothers and sisters that have resorted to Me, sought Me with care, required of Me, consulted of Me, enquired of Me, demanded of Me in prayer, investigated Me, studied about Me, followed Me, sought Me with application [those that hear Jah's Word and do it] [These are the ones who "responded" to Jahuwah. In Mark 3: 33-35 Jahshuwah replied, "Who are My mother and My brothers? And looking around on those who sat in a circle about Him, He said, See! Here are My mother and My brothers;

For whoever does the things Jahuwah wills is My brother and sister and mother!"] But you are they that abandon, leave behind, omit, relax, neglect, and put aside My Commands, Laws, Statutes, Ordinances, Judgments and Precepts; that forget my set-apart mountain [Mount Tsion where only the obedient can dwell], that set forth a legal case regarding sacred uses for the gawd of fortune [Most call this God.], and that furnish the drink offering unto the apportioner of fate; or, that lucky number [There is no need to be a doer of the Word; if the god of luck is with you.]. Therefore will I number you to a violent end, and ye shall all writhe in pain as in child birth to the slaughter: because when I recited, read aloud, proclaimed, summoned, invited, and endowed you, and you did not respond; when I orally or mentally communicated with you, you did not hear with understanding, attention or obedience; you did not learn from what I said; but you fashioned, made, accomplished, worked, and acted with disagreeable or malignant effect; you took actions that were of inferior quality; actions which gave others pain; actions that demonstrated an inability to come up to a good standard which did not benefit Me and others; actions that demonstrate a negative attitude toward Me and toward men before my mental and spiritual faculties, and you made well thought out choices; choices with eternal consequences, for that wherein I had no strong, positive attraction to.” This is how you become a warped bow.

[3] The archer they will not respond to is Jahuwah of course! He’s trying to send them forth as a polished arrow from His quiver, see Isaiah 49:2. Polish in Isaiah 49:2 is Strong’s H# 01305 barar {baw-rar’} meaning to purify, select, polish, choose, purge, cleanse or make bright, test or prove; to separate or stand apart; to remove impure things; to cleanse; to sharpen.
