Isaiah has a child with a prophet and names him : "The Looting Will Come Quickly; the Prey Will Be Easy" because the wealth of Damascus and the loot from Samaria will be carried away to the king of Assyria. The Lord shows to Isaiah that the wealth of Damascus and the loot from Samaria will be carried away to the king of Assyria v5-10. Some in Jerusalem will search for help from the mediums and the fortunetellers, who whisper and mutter. The Lord says:
Shouldn’t people ask their Elohim for help instead?
Why should they ask the dead to help the living?
20 They should go to the teachings and to the written instructions.
If people don’t speak these words,
it is because it doesn’t dawn on them.
21 They will pass through the land when they are hard-pressed and hungry.
When they are hungry, they will be furious.
Then they will look up, cursing their king and Elohim.
22 They will look at the earth and see only distress and gloom.
They will go in anguish and be forced into darkness.
