This article argues that Isa 29,15-24 is composed of five coherent segments. The early Isaianic word, 29,15+21, was reinterpreted in a new way by an exilic author in 29,16-17+20. The presupposed blindness of Yhwh serving as a motivation for an ungodly life by those addressed in 29,15, is reconsidered as the ideology of desperate people who deem the blindness of Yhwh explains the present desolate condition of Jerusalem. The former injustice in Isaiah's society (29,21) is reinterpreted as the injustice of the foreign tyrant against the people of Yhwh. Isa 29,18+24 (the blindness of the people) and 29,19+23d-e (the oppressed Yhwh-fearing people) elaborate on the same theme in a larger context and presuppose a similar situation and author as implied by 29,16-17+21, probably to be identified with Deutero-Isaiah.

Örvendek annak, hogy a szórványtéma az egyházi elöljáróság érdeklődésének homlokterébe került, viszont azzal is számolnunk kell, hogy minél felkapottabbá válik, annál több sztereotípia és félreértelmezés tapad hozzá, s ha ezeket nem is fogom mind érinteni, jó néhányat terítékre fogok ajánlani közülük.
