shall describe the land

Since yesterday's mention of Isa6, been thinking of the phrase "people with unclean lips" from v5. I like the idea of a group being identified by an adjective and a bodypart. It reduces them to their core. Usually there are overlapping phrases that combine to make the whole -- it is no small coincidence, I am sure, that people of unclean lips tend to also be people of handcovered ears. But imagine bickering over which group they most belong to. Yes, he is one of them singed eye folks. But he's more stone brained than anything. Then imagine and ask yourself which phrase best describes where you are spiritually right now.
