28. What sins are condemned in Isaiah’s final woes, and how can Christians today avoid such sins?

²⁸ Appropriately, Isaiah adds these final woes: “Woe to those wise in their own eyes and discreet even in front of their own faces!

Isaiah 5:21

These words were evidently addressed to those serving as judges in the land. Congregation elders today avoid seeming “wise in their own eyes.” They humbly accept counsel from fellow elders and adhere closely to organizational instructions. (Proverbs 1:5; 1 Corinthians 14:33)
