Isaiah 30 and the Going Right or Left

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. 
For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. 
For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. 
As soon as he hears it, he answers you. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. 

One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 30:21. I've rested on that plenty and have found God to be faithful in showing, if I listen. When I fail to listen, nothing of any eternal value is accomplished. 

Isaiah 29 & 30 is rich with imagery and truth.
