Isaiah 10, 11 and 12 continue to speak of the punishment which is wreaked upon the people of Israel and Judah. But a leader will come from the house of Jesse who will have the fear of the Lord. He will bring peace to the land. God will recover the remnant from far off and the people will thank the Lord for his salvation.

2 Timothy 3 speaks of the last days. People will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. The righteous will be persecuted. Timothy is encouraged to be bold in his proclamation even in the midst of hardship. He is to train up the righteous so they may be able to stand the time of trial.
