worm in Isaiah 14
WURM
This creature shows up in Isaiah 14:11: “Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 14:11
“Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.”
What kids can learn
When you hear worm in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 14:11 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
