Will we listen and heed the warning?

In Isaiah 28-30, we learn why Isaiah was not invited to many parties. Seriously though, these chapters give the heart of Isaiah's warning. Self reliance, or even reliance on other's physical strength is no match for the Lord! Several times Isaiah notes that the clay pot is not superior to the potter who makes it! Ch29v13-15 are key to understanding this. Human wisdom is foolish. Hiding our intensions from God is equally foolish. Yet we do it all the time. We become comforted in darkness so we do not have to see truth from the light. Ch30v18 is a real keeper. God loves us and will wait. Amazing! I know what I do and would not wait, yet God does it for me, and everyone else. Too bad the crowds did not heed Isaiah's warnings. Will we today?
