“Thou Hadst Hearkened to My Commandments”

Brant Gardner

Meaning for Isaiah’s audience: Yahweh laments Israel’s inability to follow the prophets. Yahweh contrasts their glorious possibilities to their dismal realities.

Meaning for Nephi’s audience: Perhaps Yahweh is telling them also that their sufferings in their wilderness have been caused by their unbelief.
