-  * I think it shows the absolute confidence of the people, that they boldly proclaim that their works are unknown. ​ Also, it shows that they are aware of their wicked deeds -- they do not sin ignorantly. ​ In the last days, the works of their own hands will testify against them (Isaiah 19:​16). ​ They will witness not only the creator that made them, but that they were aware of what they were doing.+I think it shows the absolute confidence of the people, that they boldly proclaim that their works are unknown. ​ Also, it shows that they are aware of their wicked deeds -- they do not sin ignorantly. ​ In the last days, the works of their own hands will testify against them (Isaiah 19:​16). ​ They will witness not only the creator that made them, but that they were aware of what they were doing.

 +** Isaiah 29:20-22 **
 +
 +What a great promise in verse 20.
 +
 +Isaiah 29:21 - these are those that shall be cut off, and in the days of the Book of Mormon, these are the designs of the wicked:
 +
 +  * they make a man an offender for the word. That happens a lot - in the age of political correctness and acceptance over tolerance, nothing is wrong, and if someone is offended, it is a grave error.
 +  * lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate - if they are in the gate, that must mean that they are in a position where many people pass through, or have general access to.  The wicked will look to trap them somehow.
 +  * turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
 +
 +Isaiah 29:22 - the Lord claims the credit, He is the one who "​redeemed Abraham." ​ Jacob won't be worried ("​neither shall his face now wax pale"​).
