Fa izay hifampirary fitahiana eto amin’ity tany ity, dia hifanao izany ao amin’Andriamanitra hany mahatoky; izay hianiana eto amin’ity tany ity, dia hanao izany ao amin’Andriamanitra hany mahatoky. Hoy kosa ny TOMPO hoe: Eny, ireo fahoriana taloha dia hohadinoina sy ho voakosoka tanteraka tsy ho eo imasoko.

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a favorite toy that you always use when you play. But one day, you find a new, better toy that makes the old one seem less special. This verse is like that, but with God. It says that people will stop using other things to make promises or say blessings and will only use God, who is always true.
Historical Background
Isaiah, a prophet, wrote this during the 8th century BCE. He was addressing the Israelites, who were facing exile and hardship. The message was a promise of a future where God's truth would be recognized above all.
