In Isaiah chapter 30, the prophet offers a reassuring message about God's communication with us. He emphasizes that the Lord does not remain hidden and that divine guidance is readily accessible. Isaiah, functioning both as a prophet and a poet, imparts comforting assurance by likening God's guidance to the words of a compassionate teacher. The imagery painted is that of a guiding voice resonating from behind, gently instructing, "This is the way; walk in it."
